RE: [PHP] If statement being ignored by PHP

For if statements, the operator is == to check if it is equal to - not just a single = sign. This is due to the fact that PHP will parse that statement even in an if statement [i.e. set $post="yes", not work out whether it equals yes.] Hope that helps - but if it doesn't make any sense just remember: if ($post=="yes") { blah; } NOT if ($post="yes") { blah; } Regards, Emile Axelrad
