php4 to php4.3.1

morgn

ive just transferred a web site across to a new server using 4.3.1 and im getting error messages. for example, im using an if statement- the original code was written like this:
if ($id =="benefits")
{}
and that failed to work- i now have to use this:
if ($id ="benefits")
{}

what other changes have been made? it will take me ages to hack through the code....
thanks in advance.

WHOA! Don't do that. You are changing the fundamental meaning of the statement. There is NOTHING that has changed in PHP regarding the difference between assignment and comparison operators.

In the example you used, if() will ALWAYS be true, and the value of the variable will be set.

Back up and read the error message.

What does it say?

Did you read this?
http://us2.php.net/register_globals

there is no error, it just doesnt load the page at all, but it seems to work with the single equals sign.

else if($id == "benefits")
{
include ("benefits.inc");
}

should work, but its not- i catch the error with my own error message and this is the only error i get. I took out my own catch statement, but i still didnt get a php error message.
Im confused!
