 * Hello,
    I want to print ‘positive’ or ‘negative’ if {variation} placeholder is
   > or <0.
 * In a WordPress post with PHP Exec enabled, I tried the following code:
 * `[jsoncontentimporter url=”[https://www……&#8221](https://www……&#8221); numberofdisplayeditems
   =”300″ ]
 * <?php
    $var='{variation}’; echo $var; // OK – it gets correctly printed.
 * if ($var<0) {
    echo ‘negative’; } else { echo ‘positive’; // BAD – It always 
   prints ‘positive’ even if variation equals -35. }
 *  [/jsoncontentimporter]’

 * Hello,
 * ok, but what’s the problem? I guess this does not work.
    You might use [https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/insert-php/](https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/insert-php/)
   but then the question is, what Plugin (JSON… or InsertPHP) is executed first.
   << It always prints ‘positive’ even if variation equals -35.>> I guess, first
   the PHP is executed with result “positive” and after that the plugin is done.
