Question

I made an if and else statement in Javascript, but I can’t get it to work.

This is my code, I hope you people will see whats wrong

var int = "";
function fbLoop (userLoop)
{
    int=setInterval(function(){fbCheckloop(userLoop)},1000);
}

function fbCheckloop(userCheck)
{
    if(userCheck.login != 'false')
    {
        window.clearInterval(int);
        console.log(userCheck);
        fbUpload(userCheck);
    }
    else
    {
        $.get("uploadtofb.php", {functie: "checklogin", fotonaam: userCheck.fotonaam}, fbCheckloop);
    }
}

The if(userCheck.login != 'false') doesn’t work.
The console.log(userCheck); shows this
{"login":"false","fotonaam":"NAME"}
So according to the console log he have to do the else, but he does the if statement.

What did I do wrong?

The userCheck is coming from this:

return json_encode($checklog = array(
'login' => 'false',
'fotonaam' => $_GET['fotonaam']
));

Are you sure that userCheck is a JavaScript object, and not a JSON string that has to be parsed? Your current console log result makes me suspect that it is. What does console.log(typeof userCheck) yield?

If it is, use

userCheck = JSON.parse(userCheck)
