Am I missing something with $_GET and typed in values?

[linus72982]

If I explicitly redirect to blahblahetc.com/blahblah.php?id=myvalue, and then I use if $_GET['id'] = X on the page, it always returns true, am I using it wrong?  Isset($_GET['id']... works, but not the other, how can I accomplish this correctly because I want to actually change id, not the entire variable name for each so I can use isset.  Thanks ahead of time.

= is assignment. == is comparison. You want if(  $_GET['id'] == 'X' ) {

I don't think I fully understand your question.

 

Say you redirect to blahblah.php?id=X

 

if(isset($_GET['id']) && $_GET['id'] == "X"){
   //true
}
else{
  //false
}
