Re: SIMPLE QUESTION

i've seen this question posted here a few times so i will write many words, perhaps they will be of use. <? if ($name == 'John') { // if name is john then do stuff // that is in here like if you wanted // to call a function then do so johnnyboy(); // or if you want to define a function // then do so function wusup() { print 'Hi John! wus up!!!'; } // all the while this stuff only gets // touched when $name is John otherwise // it's all skipped over. } // the end. ?> is this what you mean? i don't have any programming background so perhaps you are meaning something else. like i think you might mean 'if name equals john then jump to somewhere else in the code' but idk how to specify that action :-) btw, by saying : if ($name = "John") { ^ ut oh you are actually defining $name to be John so it will ALWAYS be John, you do not want to do this i don't think. use '==' instead. regards, philip olson -- be outside the box.
