PHP string compare (if) does not work

Question

I was writing in PHP and making so the page was declared by get method. For an example if it were index.php?page=home it would take home and compare to other strings and... ya include the home BUT the compression in the if statement dosnt work... I have also write that if get method == start then dont show the side news but it still showed it!

Here's my code:

if(isset($_GET['page']) && $_GET['page'] == 'start'){
    $adbool = false;
}else{
    include('inc/main.php');
}

And here is the if statement for deleting side news:

if(isset($adbool) && !$adbool == false){
    include('inc/ad.php');
}

When is the include of the side news allowed? When $adbool is true or false? — Naruto

Use var_dump($_GET['page']) to display its actual value. BTW, replace if(isset($adbool) && !$adbool == false){ with if(isset($adbool) && $adbool){ — xlecoustillier

and remember this !$adbool == false is not equal to this $adbool != false

You better understand this part as well !$adbool == false; !$adbool means that $adbool is equal to false;

so !$adbool == false; means if false=false hence this condition always set to to true.

Thats why your logic is failing Change this

if(isset($adbool) && !$adbool == false){
    include('inc/ad.php');
}

To this

if($adbool == TRUE){//simply check weather its set to to true or not
    include('inc/ad.php');
}

use

if(isset($adbool) && $adbool){
    include('inc/ad.php');
}

this will check if $adbool is set, and if it's set to true.
