variable

[otha]

Anyone have an idea why this won't work as a variable
<?
$topOpen=
if ($offsetf== top )
{ echo $desireda  .'  Mils, Open at the top';}
else
{ echo abs(-$desireda)  .'  Mils, Open at the bott.';}
;
?>

You seem to be assigning $topOpen the results of an if else.

which should get you an error of

PHP Parse error:  parse error, unexpected T_IF in ...

That is what I am trying to do but I get a parse error

<?
$topOpen= ($offsetf== "top");
if($topOpen)
{ echo $desireda  .'  Mils, Open at the top';}
else
{ echo abs(-$desireda)  .'  Mils, Open at the bott.';}
;
?>
