I have the following bit of code:
if($result->numRows() == 0) {
$smarty->assign('bEvergreenDonation', false);
} else {
while($row = $result->fetchRow(DB_FETCHMODE_ASSOC)) {
$txtEvergreenDonation[] = $row['fPledgeAmount'] . " started on " . $row['dtStart'] . " and will expire on " . $row['dtEnd'];
}
$smarty->assign('bEvergreenDonation', true);
$smarty->assign("txtEvergreenDonation", $txtEvergreenDonation);

}
In the case where $result->numRows() is zero (0) , bEvergreenDonation should be assigned the value of false. However, it is consistently assigned the value of "True" and I cant figure out why. Have I missed something here?

Here is my template code also:
{if bEvergreenDonation}
<p>{$persVal.txtSalutation} {$persVal.txtFirstNames} {$persVal.txtLastName} is an evergreen donor. The current pledge of ${$txtEvergreenDonation[0]}.
Click <INPUT TYPE="button" Value="Evergreen Donation" onClick="showEvergreenWindow('{$persVal.nId}', '{$persVal.txtFirstNames} {$persVal.txtLastName}', 'Edit')"> to edit the pledge.</p>
{else}
<p>{$persVal.txtSalutation} {$persVal.txtFirstNames} {$persVal.txtLastName} is not an evergreen donor. If the voter wishes to become an evergreen donor
click the button <INPUT TYPE="button" Value="Evergreen Donation" onClick="showEvergreenWindow('{$persVal.nId}', '{$persVal.txtFirstNames} {$persVal.txtLastName}', 'Add'"> and complete the form.
</p>
{/if}

Other than this cockup, the thing works as it should.

>>> $smarty->assign('bEvergreenDonation', true); <<<

you are doing this *after* the if.
this belongs into the else-part.

It is after the else part. Are you saying that the statement $smarty->assign('bEvergreenDonation', false); is not required?

my fault: i didn't recognize that "$smarty->assign('bEvergreenDonation', true);" is *inside* the else part of your example, because the lack of any indentiation.
forget it.

Other than that, do you see any fault in the logic as presented. I discovered another bit of code that is exhibiting the same behaviour.

i just noticed:

{if bEvergreenDonation} is always true, it's like {if "bEvergreenDonation"}.
you want {if $bEvergreenDonation}.

That did the trick. You can't imagine how long I looked at it only to miss the obvious. A second opinion is always in order. Thanks,
