[stickman373]

whats wrong with the below code? it works fine if $dl='pcgame' but none of the other ones work?

<?php
$dl = $_GET[dl]


if ($dl ='pcgame') {
    header("Location: /pcgame.php");
}elseif($dl='movie'){
    header("Location: /pcgame.php");
}elseif($dl='console'){
    header("Location: /console.php");    
}elseif($dl='albums'){
    header("Location: /album.php");    
}elseif($dl='applications'){
    header("Location: /application.php");    
}elseif($dl='ebook'){
    header("Location: /ebook.php");        
}elseif($dl='adult'){
    header("Location: /adult.php");        
}else{        
echo 'not a valid input';
}
?>

$dl = $_ENV['dl'];

[phpman]

uhh you need 2 = in there
also if you are getting them from the url you will need $_GET['dl'] instead. not $_ENV

if ($dl =='pcgame') {
    header("Location: /pcgame.php");
}elseif($dl=='movie'){
    header("Location: /pcgame.php");
}elseif($dl=='console'){
    header("Location: /console.php");    
}elseif($dl=='albums'){
    header("Location: /album.php");    
}elseif($dl=='applications'){
    header("Location: /application.php");    
}elseif($dl=='ebook'){
    header("Location: /ebook.php");        
}elseif($dl=='adult'){
    header("Location: /adult.php");        
}else{        
echo 'not a valid input';
}

Just adding to what phpman said...

$num = 2;

Is used to assign a variable. So if you have:

 if ($num = 2) {

You are assigning 2 to the variable, which will then return true (or success) and execute that IF statement.

if ($num == 2) {

Is the boolean test statement to find out what something equals.
