if and else problems

[fahhem]

If and elseif and else never works for me, The help file doesn't say I'm wrong. Here is some code I've tried:

if ($user="asdf"){
print "asdf";
}else{
print "fdsa";
}

with or without user set to asdf, it prints asdf

if ($user == 'asdf'){ 
print "asdf"; 
}else{ 
print "fdsa"; 
} 

you have to have == not = because there is stuff like

not equal: !=
equal: ==

i think there is more, i just dont know them

try this:

if($user == "asdf") {
print "asdf";
}else{
print "fdsa";
}

you can use either " or '(this ' only if there arent any variables inside it)
