Stupid Statement question

[Anon]

What´s wrong with this? I do not get the checked value to skip statements if I select value "customer"

<?

if($option==""){echo("Please, go back and select a check out option");}

elseif($option="first_time"){echo("first time user");}

elseif($option="customer"){echo("ok");}

?>

Thank you

Hi,
I think you need double equal signs in your elseif condtions ie. '=='
Hope that does it.

He right, you do. In conditional statments, always put the constant value to the left of the comparing symbols, that way PHP flags the error.

try this for a change
<?

if(!$option)
{echo("Please, go back and select a check out option");}

elseif($option="first_time"){echo("first time user");}

elseif($option="customer"){echo("ok");}

?>

this way a NULL option will go back
