help with a message center

[skizzy]

what im trying to do is create an area that lets a player know if they got a new mail or event because my new menu doesn't allow me to do it in the menu here is what i put to make it show if a player got a new event or not

if($ec > 1)

{

print "<hr />

<font color=red>New Events</font>";

}

if($ec > 1)

{

print "

<font color=red>New Events</font>";

}

if($mc > 1)

{

print "<hr />

and it will not show up know matter how many new mail or events you have

It looks like you have one of the > backwards.

Can you post the whole section of your mainmenu that shows mails/events?

i tried that and it still didn't work

here is all that i got that deals with it

global $db,$c,$ir, $set;

$hc=$set['hospital_count'];

$jc=$set['jail_count'];

$ec=$ir['new_events'];

$mc=$ir['new_mail'];

if($ir['user_level'] > 1)

{

print "<a href='staff.php'>Staff Panel</a><br />\n<hr />";

 

}

if($ec > 1)

{

print "<hr />

<font color=red>New Events</font>";

}

if($ec < 1)

{

print "

<font color=red>New Events</font>";

}

if($mc < 1)

{

print "<hr />

<font color=red>New Mail</font>";

}

Print"<div class='mainmenu'>

try this and see if it works.

if($ir['user_level'] > 1)
{
print "<a href='staff.php'>Staff Panel</a><br />\n<hr />";
}
echo ($ec > 0)?'<a href="events.php"><font color="red">Events ('.$ec.')</font></a>':'<a href="events.php">Events (0)</a>';
}
echo ($mc > 0)?'<a href="mailbox.php"><font color="red">Mailbox ('.$mc.')</font></a>':'<a href="mailbox.php">Mailbox (0)</a>';
}

 

It should show a number count plus turn red.
