Note Submitter: php dot net at bgr8 dot com Reason: 2 ---- an interesting concept, using only double == ... but i'm executing php from the command line on an ubuntu server using php5 ... and if i use ==, the function fails, but if i use = the function works. i try it with good and bad value pairs echoing "match" to the screen when they match (the executed line) and "match" will not happen with ==. only with =. neither one tosses an error, but the == NEVER shows a match and the = matches when the two strings being compared actually match. this is not something i was expecting after programming in several languages. go figure. #!/usr/bin/php <?php if ($check = $output) echo "match\n"; ?> obviously there's code to make them match or not match, but that code does not change. i JUST add/remove an = and the code works with =.
