if + else statement help

[tawevolution]

ok, this is what I have so far:

[code]if($headof=1)
{$title=="Head of ";}else{$title=="none";}[/code]

$headof is taken from an imput checkbox (i know that works) where if it it checked then the value is 1, but I dont know why the if statement doesnt work.

At the bottom of the form I then have:
[code]echo("$title");[/code]
But nothing ever comes up?!

Any help?
Thanks, Evo

</form></p>

<?php
$1 = "1";

if($headof=1)
{$title=="Head of ";}else{$title=="none";}

#now echo the contents of the form
echo("$lang, $real, $tag, $dept, $title");
?>
[/code]

I dont get you logic but this is what i think you mean theo.

[code]
<?php

$1 = "1";

if($headof=1){

$title=="Head of ";

echo $title;

}else{

$title=="none";

echo $title;

}

?>
[/code]

For check boxes, the test is not "if($headof=1)".
To check if a checkbox was ticked, you either check if the value of $headof is "on" ($headof=="on"), or check if "$_POST['headof']" is set (isset($_POST['headof'])).

The second option is the better one.

or check if "$_POST['headof']" is set (isset($_POST['headof'])).
[/quote]
erm, how / where do i put that in the code?

[Orio]

Instead of:
[code]if($headof=1)
{$title=="Head of ";}else{$title=="none";}[/code]

You should put:
[code]if(isset($_POST['headof']))
{$title=="Head of ";}else{$title=="none";}[/code]


Orio :)
