phakebrill Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Hi everyone, I'm completely new to PHP (and programming), hence me coming to this forum. I have what is probably a really simple "generic" question. What is the difference between: "=" and "==" Thanks in advance and I apologise for the really simple question.

flhtc Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 = sets a value == test to see if it is equal to that value $a = "This" if ($a == "This) echo "A = $a"; And, Yes it is paranoia.

phakebrill Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 Thanks very much guys. That's cleared that one up for me. I'm a total novice when it comes to programming. To be honest, I could probably benefit from some good tutorials or something. Thanks again!
