[SOLVED] echo != statement help?

[wmguk]

Hi again

 

My code is

<?php

if ($pass == "")
{
$password == "X";
}
$password = $pass ;
  
  echo "$password" ;
?>

 

Im trying to get it, so that if the password field is blank, it sets $password as X, but if the password has something in it, it will show it...

 

the show $password works if i enter a password, but i cannot get it to show X

 

Im sure this is a stupid question but itis 04.20am and im about done i think....

$password = "X"; if you use == you're doing comparison not assignment.

either

<?php

if ($pass == "")
{
$password = "X";
}else{
$password = $pass ;
}
echo "$password" ;
?>

 

 

or

 

 

<?php
$password = $pass ;
if ($pass == "")
{
$password = "X";
}
echo "$password" ;
?>

 

or

 

 

<?php
$password = $pass ;
if (empty($pass))
{
$password = "X";
}
echo "$password" ;
?>
