   I just want to get post ID whose sku is GS-xxxxx .
   If no post exists, i'l create a new one.

   I thought this was going to be a snap.
   I need to get a post's ID based on query for a particular SKU.
   custom field= "sku"
   the meta-value shown here exists.
   I can get the ID, but how do I check if there was NO ID?
   

   // retrieve one post with determined sku
   query_posts('meta_key=sku&meta_value=GS_5-00252');
   while (have_posts()) : the_post();
   $str = get_the_ID() ;
   echo $str;
   $len= strlen($str);
   if (1 > $len ) {
   echo "NO POST yet, create';
   } else {
   echo $len;
   }
   endwhile;

   I'm OK till I hit the IF statement.
   I need to check if the ID exists, if not, then I will create a new post.
   for the life of me, can't figure out what's wrong with that if statement.
   I thought maybe missing a ";" after the }... but not the case (I think).
   stumped... can anyone save me some headaches playing with this?

   hey, no way to delete a post?

   this will remain as testimony to my blindness?

   problem solved.
   echo "NO POST yet, create';

   mismatched quote and single quote mark.

   doh !works now.

   must get new glasses.

   Since the post is here, you might as well get the correct way of doing it :)

   query_posts('meta_key=sky&meta_value=GS_5-00252');
   if (have_posts()) :
       while (have_posts()) : the_post();
           $str = get_the_ID() ;
           echo $str;
       endwhile;
   else :
       echo 'NO POST yet, create';
   endif;
