simple variable question

[Pyro4816]

ok, well i need some help with if else and variables. I want to change a variable if a condition is met, but so far it has'nt worked, can anyone help me, here is an example: [code]<?php
$loginm = "1";
if($loginm = "1"){
$loginm = "2";
echo 'loginm changed to 2<br />';
echo $loginm;
echo '<br />';
}
if ($loginm="1"){
echo 'maby not<br />';
echo $loginm;
echo '<br />';
}else{
echo 'else';
}
?>
[/code]
what i want it to do is change the variable from that point on instead of it reverting in another section.

In your conditionals (if statemetns you need to use double equal signs to test for equality. When you use a single equal sign it is assigning the value.

This
[code]if($loginm = "1"){[/code]

means attempt to assign the value 1 to the variable $loginm. If it can then the condition passes, if it cannot then the condition fails.

You need to use this
[code]if($loginm == "1"){[/code]
