PHP problem

[chicken]

Why does this 'if' statement work:

$filesize = filesize($inputFile);
if ($filesize > 0) {
  //print "<br/>debug, $inputFile is $filesize\n";
  $result = xslt_process($xh, $inputFile, "searchResults.xsl");
  return $result;
}

When this 'if' statement does not:

if (filesize($inputFile) > 0) {
  //print "<br/>debug, $inputFile is $filesize\n";
  $result = xslt_process($xh, $inputFile, "searchResults.xsl");
  return $result;
}

ARGH! WTF? Am I thinking in Perl here or something?

I guess this could be a precedence issue? Maybe try
if ( (filesize($inputFile)) > 0 ). I'm not convinced this is right, though. I abhor PHP.

I dunno, but you could try putting in

if (filesize($inputFile) > 0) {
  [stuff]
} else {
  print filesize($inputfile);
  print filesize($inputfile) > 0;
}

or something. (Syntax is probably not correct.)

You're still using $filesize in the second version, but you didn't define it.

Oh, wait, you commented that line out, right? Were you trying it with the line uncommented?
