If statement

[capcu]

Hello,I'm really new to php. What I'm trying to do is if the two variables equal eachother than I only want to show one of the variables (StartDate). $event ->StartDate==$event ->EndDate ; Thanks for the help!

The basic idea looks like this:

if ($event->StartDate == $event->EndDate){   // do something;}

I do not know what you mean by "show"

what are you having trouble with? Are you familiar with conditional statements/logic?http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_if_else.asp

Basically I don't want the date to show up twice so if the dates are both April 26 I only want to see ONE April 26 not April 26 April 26.

That's the thing. I don't know what code you're using to "show" the dates, so I have no idea what to tell you. As a rule, people get better results here if they post the relevant code they are confused about. We probably don't need to see your whole script, just the part with the problem you need to solve.

You could invert the conditon - always display the start date, and if the dates are NOT the same, display the end date as well, e.g.

//Do whatever you do to "show" the date e.g. "echo $event->StartDate;"if ($event->StartDate !== $event->EndDate) {//Do whatever you need to do to also "show" the end date, including outputting a separator, e.g. "echo '-', $event->EndDate;"}
