[SOLVED] Please fix this :)

Hi.

The code is for a user editing their profile. The url would be "www.whatever.com/profile/username&mode=edit", and the idea of the code is that if the 'username' matches their session username, they are permitted to edit their profile. If their session username isn't the one requested, then they can't edit the profile.

<?php 
session_start();
if($mode = 'edit' and $_SESSION['username'] = '$user'){
echo"Editing Your Profile";
}else {
echo"";
}
?>

However, it always echos "Editing your profile", so therefore doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Cheers.

 

(I already have

$mode=$_GET['mode'];

in a previous snippet)

You're using 1 equal sign which is assigning and will always result to true.

 

You need to use 2 equals signs which will compare the values.

 

And instead of 'and' use '&&'.

 

if($mode == 'edit' && $_SESSION['username'] == '$user'){

I'll take that as it's working properly.  Please mark as [sOLVED] if so, thanks!
