Same as with two numerical values... use the == operator
if($text1 == $text2) /* only true if the 2 vars are equal */
if($text1 = $text2) /* this sets $text1 to the same value as text2 and is
always true unless $text2 = false */

Hi,
This might sound really simple but plz humour me :)
How can I tell if two text variables are equal to one another?
If I use..
if($text1 = $text2)
{
echo "The variables are equal";
}
else
{
echo "The variables are not equal";
}
then the code in the else state is always printed even if I know for a fact
that the variables are equal...
Any suggestions?
James
