[SOLVED] New To PHP - Please help with 'else'.

[g3mma111]

Im fairly new to PHP and am having a problem with the following script:

<? if ($gender='F') { ?>

<img name="" src="/images/woman.jpg" width="101" height="140" alt=""> 

<? 
}
else
{
?>
<img name="" src="/images/man.jpg" width="101" height="140" alt="">
<?
 }
 ?>

 

I am trying to make it so that if gender is F then a woman pic gets displayed and otherwise it is a man one. Can anyone see where ive gone wrong? at the moment it just displays a woman pic regardless of what the gender is.

Hmm something like this:

 

<?php

if($gender == "F") {
   echo "your/image/file.gif";
   }
elseif ($gender == "M") {
  echo "your/image/file1.gif";
}
else {
  echo "Your not a male or female!";
}

?>

The reason for your error is because you were using the assignment operator (=) rather than the comparison operator (==) in your if statement:

 

<? if ($gender='F') { ?>

Should be:

<? if ($gender=='F') { ?>
