Good afternoon,
I am tearing hair out over this. It should be so simple. I have an if statement to evaluate whether or not replication is working. I am testing variables from mysql to see if they are both "Yes". I have put some echo statements in to see how far the code proceeds. It always seems to skip the initial test (or evaluate it as false) and run to the end of the script. I could really use another pair of eyes on this.
Thanks
Jim
