RE: [PHP-DB] Newbie: IF statement

You should be using '==' compare not '=' assignment Plus you can use the isset function to determine whether the $page variable has been set e.g. if (!isset($Page)) $Page="homepage"; -Stewart -----Original Message----- From: Dan Eskildsen [mailto:dan@eskildsen.net] Sent: 14 May 2001 11:24 To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] Newbie: IF statement MAJOR NEWBIE ALERT! I can't believe this! I can't even work out an IF statement! My page contains a search string (eg: page.php3?Page=products ) If the URL does not contain a search string (ie page.php3) then I want to assign the Page variable to 'homepage". I have tried these if statements, but without luck: if ($Page='') { $Page="homepage" } if ($Page="") { $Page="homepage" } if ($Page=null) { $Page="homepage" } I tried the manual at http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.php#control-structures.if but without luck.
