OK, I fixed it, but I know why it didn't work before.
The if test stuff was in an include file (that is bracketed by <?php ?>.
When I cut and pasted that code into inline code, it worked. The problem
was that the include file was at the beginning of the page, so the test was
before getting any values. Some times the stupid errors are the hardest to
find.
