use == instead of =

Thanks but thats the difference?

= is the assignment operator. $x=5 means "Set the contents of $x to 5."== is an equality test. The expression it is in gets evaluated to true or false. So 1==1 returns (gets evaluated to) true; 1==5 returns false. True and false are the only things that if() statements are looking for.Some languages use = for both. This limits the functionality.

a single "=" is an assignment operator. Assign the value of b to variable a would be

 $a = $b

a double "=" is a comparison operator. Is the value a equal to the var b? would become

 $a == $b

a triple "=" is a comparison operator that checks both the values and the 'type' of the variable. types can be numeric, strings, boolean, etc.
