[PHP] Variables

[James Bartlett]

Hi,

This might sound really simple but plz humour me :)

How can I tell if two text variables are equal to one another?

If I use..

if($text1 = $text2)
{
echo "The variables are equal";
}
else
{
echo "The variables are not equal";
}

then the code in the else state is always printed even if I know for a fact that the 
variables are equal...

Any suggestions?

James
