I am trying to get a "New for 2006" or "New for 2007" statement under the product name. I've created a new field under table: products called product_is_new. I'm trying to call it with:

if ($listing->fields['product_is_new'] == 1) {
$new = '<font color=#ff0000><b>NEW FOR 2006</b></font>';
} elseif ($listing->fields['product_is_new'] == 2) {
$new = '<font color=#ff0000><b>NEW FOR 2007</b></font>';
} else {
$new = '';
}
I have the statement within the product_listing and all I ever get is "New for 2006" whether I have a 1 or a 2 in the database field. I'm sure it's a simple error on my part, but I can no longer see the forest through the trees.

Thanks in advance,
Marg
