Get Free Web Designs

I've been so detatched from web development lately that it's not funny and I figured it was a good time to get into PHP finally. I know everything I've re-learned so far, but the w3schools tutorials will hopefully push me into some foreign territory. Anyway, I was messing around with elseif and discovered that ==, but not , works when comparing a variable to a number.

So I'm wondering what's the difference between = and ==? is == for comparing variables while = is for numeric stuff and defining variables?

Also, a google search for that is useless… lol
