Strange variable problem..

Hi!

Got this strange variable problem:

I display two pictures with the following links:

and

When the first link is clicked, this is what i get:

<?
session_start();
$dis=session_id();

echo $catego; //<--- this here gets the variable right, and prints 'lifestyle'

if ($catego="lifestyle") {

$imagetotal2 = "<img src = 'catpics/3_lifestyle_pic.jpg'>";

} elseif ($catego="nature") {

$imagetotal2 = "<img src = 'catpics/nature_pic.jpg'>";
}

echo ($imagetotal2); //<--- this echoes the 3_lifestyle_pic.jpg to screen.

Now, when the second link is clicked, 'echo $catego' will echo 'nature', but the same image will appear (the lifestyle image)!

Anyone?

your problem lies in that the script always assigns "lifestyle" to $catego

It must also be better to use $_GET['catego'] instead of $catego
