What was that method called? ?var=test

[XeRoZeN]

What was the method called? I would search on google but I have no idea.. I know its setting a variable threw a browser but everytime I do it it thinks I have it set..

$var = "";
if ($var = "test") { echo "blah"; }

BUT then I enter the index.php and it shows the string "blah" and I didn't even set the variable in the browser. @_@ Confusing.. 😕

No, you're defininitely in the right forum. :-)

= is an assignment
== is a test for equality

Your code sets $var to a null string, then resets it to "test" and then echoes "blah" because the result of the assignment is non-null.

After you fix that problem, you can look up "Variables from outside PHP" in the manual. Read that section and you should understand $GET and $POST superglobals.
