How to Call a Number Using WWW and Actually Do Something With The Number (Please Read)

I have created a php page on my website that displays only a number, for example 3.25 and nothing else. Everything’s running smoothly, i call the url, and in my Debug the number 3.25 displays perfectly. The problem is that I can’t use that number to actually do anything. I need to be able to do something like

if (www.data >= 3.25) {

//do something

}

But in return, I keep getting this error in my console -

error CS0019: Operator >= cannot be applied to operands of type string and double

Thanks for the help in advanced, Heres my code:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
 using UnityEngine.UI;

   public class Example : MonoBehaviour {

public Text myText;
string url = "http://www.website.com";


void Start () {

	WWW www = new WWW(url);
	StartCoroutine(WaitForRequest(www));
}

IEnumerator WaitForRequest(WWW www)
{
	yield return www;
	// check for errors
	if (www.error == null)
	{
		Debug.Log("WWW Ok!: " + www.data);
		myText.text = www.data;

                 if (www.data >= 3.25) {

                  Debug.Log ("It Worked");

		}

	}  else {
		Debug.Log("WWW Error: "+ www.error);
	}     
}


   }

Hello!

www.data is deprecated, you should use www.text, which is more explicit.

Why more explicit? Because you can not compare a string and a number.

You need to parse your number. Like this:

int.Parse(www.text) >= 3.25F

Notice the F in “3.25F”, it means float, if you do not mention it, it will be a double.
