if statement help

[kashmirekat]

Hello all,

I need some help with my if/else statement.

My code:

<?
$cnt=0;
if($cnt==0){ echo ("<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?order=id&ASC\" class=\"link2\">ID</a>"); 
$cnt==1; }
else { echo ("<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?order=id&DESC\" class=\"link2\">ID</a>");
$cnt==0; }
?>

What I am having difficulty with is getting the cnt to equal zero. I have it set to link to the page itself, however that's like a refresh and cnt goes back to zero. So if anyone knows a way around reseting cnt, it would be very helpful.

Thank you.

hmm...well I'm not sure I know what you're talking about, but at the end of the code, you're making a boolean comparison and not an assignment.

$cnt==0;
php says, okay, true or false
$cnt=0;
php says, oh, I'll assign the number 0 to the variable cnt

and if you want to pass the variable back, just put it in the URL and then request it.

Thank you for your reply. I went ahead a put the value into the url and it works now. Thanks.
