Question

I have the following code:

// evaluates to negative numbers, i.e. -2 
$group_vids_count = $_videos->countGroupVids($series['id']) - 3; 
if ( $group_vids_count > 0 )
{
   $xmore = $group_vids_count . ' is more';
}
else
{
   $xmore = $group_vids_count;
}

Everything works as expected if $group_vids_count evaluates to a positive number. As far as it evaluates to a negative number, like -2 I still get results as if $group_vids_count > 0, although -2 is < 0…

$_videos->countGroupVids($series['id']) - 3 is intended as there are 3 videos displayed directly. I need to find out how many more there are…

I have tried to use max() but still the same issue…

Answer 1

I cannot reproduce that problem, see this codepad example. Are you sure $group_vids_count is actually negative?
