[SOLVED] = or ==

[gevo12321]

I always get confused when to use = and when to use ==

 

if i have tow variables $x and $y and they are both text variables what do i need to use?

 

[rhodesa]

in PHP, = is an assignment operator, == is a comparison.

 

$x = $y; //Sets $x equal to the value of $y
if($x == $y){
  print '$x and $y are equal';
}

if i have tow variables $x and $y and they are both text variables what do i need to use?

 

Use for what?  You want to assign $x to $y or do you want check if they're equal?  Look at rhodesa's post.
