I'm just learning to develo applications for iPhone and I'm now following a tutorial.
It makes me send a request to a php script on a website and after that it writes in the console the string returned from the script.

I want to change a bit the app.
I want to write inside the console a text depending on the answer received from the php script.

By now I use this code to write inside the console

NSURLResponse* response;
NSError* error;
NSData* risultato = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:richiesta returningResponse:&response error:&error];
    
NSLog(@"%@", [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:risultato encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding] autorelease]);

The script returns "ok" or "ko", and I read it correctly inside the console.

I need to add something like

if("the response received from the script" is equal to "ok"){
   //text for ok
}
else {
   //text for ko
}

My problem is what to write for the "if" condition.
How can I make that comparison?

Have you checked the Apple/other programming manuals on how NSString comparison can be done?

I would assume the following:

if([yourResponseString isEqualToString:@"ok"]) { 

   ...

}

Based on @"text" creating a valid NSString literal to compare to.

My problem is that apparently I don't have a NSString object, I have risultato which is a NSData object.
How do I read its value as a NSString? This is what I do not understand.

I had the answer in front of my eyes and I didn't see it...

if ([[[[NSString alloc] initWithData:risultato encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding] autorelease] isEqualToString:@"ok"]) {
