wordpress - get_post_meta and if statement

Hello everyone,

I am having trouble with using get_post_meta inside an if/else or switch statement. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

I am using this:

$vCategory = get_post_meta($post->ID, "videocategory", true)):

Code (markup):

When I print the $vCategory I get exactly what I wanted, lets say for example "Test".

However when I put $vCategory in a if statement like:

if($vCategory == "Test"){
echo "it works!";
}else{
echo "doesn't work";
}

Code (markup):

I get the output doesn't work every single time. When I look to the variable $vCategory inside the if statement its still "Test" but when I say if ($variable == "Test") it just doesn't work somehow.

Anyone knows what I can do about this?
