php if else statement

[absolutmgd13]

im having trouble getting this to work..

i have 1 variable to work with:

<?=$club_info["year_introduced"]?>

<?php 
 if  $club_info["year_introduced"] = null
   { 
?>
   HTML
<?php 
   }
else { 
?>
  HTML
<?php  
}
?>

im not sure how to write it correctly. also, this is going to be within its own else statement. any help would be much appreciated. thanks.

Firstly: "=" is an assignment operator, while "==" is a comparison operator, and "===" is a type-sensitive comparison operator; so you'll want to use one of the latter two, depending on whether you only want to match if it is truly null, versus any value that is considered equivalent to null (empty string, 0, 0.0, or false, for instance).

if($club_info["year_introduced"] == null)
{
  // do stuff if it's null, false, "", 0, or 0.0
}

if($club_info["year_introduced"] === null) 
{
  // do stuff only if it is truly null
} 

For the latter case, you could also make use of the is_null() function.
