Re: damned "false"

Hi, This is working exactly the way it has to ... What is wrong with it?. In the first assignment in the 'if' is evaluating to string and it is a true so the "OK" is printed. In the second "if", you are assigning a true value which is evaluated as true and it prints "OK". In the third "if" statment, you are assigning a 'false' and it evaluates to false to the if statment so that it is not printing the "OK". try this also for better understanding.... if($a=0) { echo "I never be printed"; } if(!$a=0) { echo "I will be printed, if you run me." } i hope i understand your question....
