Header Location

[Alanmoss]

Hi , Can someone tell me why this script redirects
<?
$var = 3;
if($var = 2)
{
header ("Location: page2.php");
exit();
}
else
{
echo'
<p>Page 1 end</p>';
}
?>

Thanks, Alan.

Because you actually wanted to test $var using the equality operator (==) not the assignment operator (=), and the assignment is always true. Try this instead:

[code]if ($var==2) { do whatever ... [/code]
