   Right this is the slice of code that is used for my comments.

   <li>
      		<div class="meta">
      			<?php echo get_avatar($comment,$size='70',$default='<path_to_url>' ); ?>
      			<?php printf(__('<cite class="fn">%s</cite>'), get_comment_author_link()) ?>
   
           	</div><!-- /meta -->
      		<div class="shout">
   			<?php comment_text() ?>
             </div>
   	<?php
           }

   On the top <li> I want to add an IF statement to compare the author of the article to the comment author.

   I've tried adding

   <li <?php
   				if (comment_author() == the_author())
   				{
   				echo " class=\"author\"";
   				}
   				?>>

   But all it does it output

   <li commentauthor theauthor>

   commentauthor would be the comments authors name and theauthor would be the authors name.

   Any help?

   I tried this

   <li<?php if ($comment->comment_author_email == "myemail@example.com") { ?> class="authorcomment"<?php } ?>>

   Which works, but obviously that is a defined email. So I thought just change it to this.

   <li<?php if ($comment->comment_author_email == the_author_email) { ?> class="authorcomment"<?php } ?>>

   But nothing?
