This is all explained in the manual here:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.php
Essentially, you probably want && instead of and (although and also
checks for an 'and' condition, it has lower precedence than &&). Also,
you need to use == or === to check for equality. = is the assignment
operator, and attempts to assign the value of the expression on the
right to the variable on the left.
Also, you should quote any strings.
So:
if ($biz == 'my_business' && $id_num == '2')
{
. . .
}
...etc.
Hope this helps,
Torben

I am trying to get php to use two conditions. My question Is, I am not sure if the "and" is correct, it does not work. Is there another way to do this? I have tried a plus (+), a (,) and nothing seems to work. Could someone please help? Thanks!
