I'm assuming you want to be using a conditional expression rather than an assignment statement. Either this was a typo, or you should really read a lot of introductory material on PHP's syntax, as I'm guessing this is your first programming language. Start with the PHP manual: http://www.php.net/manual/ Expressions are discussed here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.expressions.php PHP's conditional expressions are given as follows: -------------------------------------------------- PHP supports > (bigger than), >= (bigger than or equal to), == (equal), != (not equal), < (smaller than) and <= (smaller than or equal to). -------------------------------------------------- Hope that helps.
