Conditional credit balance statement

[BryanB]

I'm trying to do a simple {if} statement with the client's credit balance, basically I want to display something if their credit balance is greater than or equal to $50 on the clientareahome.tpl template.

 

Here's what I have:

{if $clientsstats.creditbalance >= '$50.00 USD'}
Got here.
{/if}

 

Now everything works as expected, if the credit balance is less than $50, it doesn't display the "got here", if its $50-$99.99 it does display the "got here" however, if its $100 or more, it doesn't display...

 

So for some reason it thinks that $100+ is less than $50

 

Any ideas why?

 

Thanks

because $1 is less than $5

dont do string comparisons - use some php to "cut" the number part of the string and use that
