Your conditional script works, (OSX 10.7.5 default terminal):-
Code:
Last login: Sun Sep 15 15:34:10 on ttys000
AMIGA:barrywalker~> x="Let it be."
AMIGA:barrywalker~> if [ "$x" == "Let it be." ]; then echo "$x"; else echo "Let it not be."; fi
Let it be.
AMIGA:barrywalker~> if [ "$x" == "Let it not be." ]; then echo "$x"; else echo "Let it not be."; fi
Let it not be.
AMIGA:barrywalker~> _

Your error must be somewhere else and not related to the conditional code you uploaded.

	Object oriented style

SYNOPSIS
public string NumberFormatter::getSymbol (int $attr) DESCRIPTION
Procedural style string numfmt_get_symbol (NumberFormatter $fmt, int $attr) Get a symbol associated with the formatter. The formatter uses symbols to represent the special locale-dependent characters in a number, for example the percent sign. This API is not supported for rule-based formatters. PARAMETERS
o $fmt -NumberFormatter object. o $attr - Symbol specifier, one of the format symbol constants. RETURN VALUES
The symbol string or FALSE on error. EXAMPLES
Example #1 numfmt_get_symbol(3) example <?php $fmt = numfmt_create( 'de_DE', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL ); echo "Sep: ".numfmt_get_symbol($fmt, NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)." "; echo numfmt_format($fmt, 1234567.891234567890000)." "; numfmt_set_symbol($fmt, NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL, "*"); echo "Sep: ".numfmt_get_symbol($fmt, NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)." "; echo numfmt_format($fmt, 1234567.891234567890000)." "; ?> Example #2 OO example <?php $fmt = new NumberFormatter( 'de_DE', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL ); echo "Sep: ".$fmt->getSymbol(NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)." "; echo $fmt->format(1234567.891234567890000)." "; $fmt->setSymbol(NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL, "*"); echo "Sep: ".$fmt->getSymbol(NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)." "; echo $fmt->format(1234567.891234567890000)." "; ?> The above example will output: Sep: . 1.234.567,891 Sep: * 1*234*567,891 SEE ALSO
