You should be using '==' compare not '=' assignment
Plus you can use the isset function to determine whether the $page variable
has been set

e.g. if (!isset($Page)) $Page="homepage";

Subject: [PHP-DB] Newbie: IF statement


MAJOR NEWBIE ALERT!

I can't believe this!  I can't even work out an IF statement!

My page contains a search string (eg: page.php3?Page=products )

If the URL does not contain a search string (ie page.php3) then I want to
assign the Page variable to 'homepage".

I have tried these if statements, but without luck:

 if ($Page='') { $Page="homepage" }

 if ($Page="") { $Page="homepage" }

 if ($Page=null) { $Page="homepage" }


I tried the manual at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.php#control-structures.if
but without luck.

Any help?!?!
