why is this SIMPLE elseif not firing?

Sorry this is isn't good 'ninja' material.. but I gotta start where I
am.

this:

echo 'is set (EditExistingClient) ='. isset($EditExistingClient)."
>\n";
is returning:
is set (EditExistingClient) =1


but this, later down the page:
elseif ((isset($EditExistingClient)) || ($CreateClient)) //we just
created a client, OR edited a client
{
echo ''."\n";
}

is not firing unless $CreateClient is set.

This, too, is not firing when I think it should:
elseif (($EditExistingClient) || ($CreateClient)) //we just created a
client, OR edited a client
{
echo ''."\n";
}

what ridiculously simple thing am I missing?

nevermind.. sorry for the noise.
It was my if clause that was firing too much, and never even reaching
that elseif.

I realize this is after the fact, but...

The above does not indicate WHAT it is set too. Just that it is set.

it could be set to /null/, FALSE, or 0 and they would all return false,
and fail, in your if condition later on.

I understand. I appreciate your taking the time to explain things.
You too Nathan!

The only possibility I can see is that $EditExistingClient is getting
modified between the echo and the first elseif statement.

Oops, clearly too early in the morning to be looking at code. Sorry.
