if($shiny = 0){
This does not compare anyting, it assigns 0 to $shiny
echo( $shiny ) // this will return 0
That's normal, you just assign 0 to it ;)
= assignment operator
== comparison operator

This confused me for awhile, because the single equal sign seemed to work
for comparison, but created inexplicable errors in my programs. It seems
strange to me that a successful variable value assignment does not return
true.
example:
<?
$shiny = 1;
if($shiny = 0){ echo("This wont print"); }
echo( $shiny ); //this will return 0
?>
