Simple varible wont work!

Hey heres the code:

<? if (xbt = 1) { ?>
<tr><Td colspan=2><center>The STATS are from the
XBT tracker we run as the backend of the
server.</center></td></tr>

<? } else {?>
<? } ?>

and the varible is:

xbt = 0;

The varible is at the top of the file.

Why wont this work? If set one 1 or 0 it displays the
<tr><Td colspan=2><center>The STATS are from the
XBT tracker we run as the backend of the
server.</center></td></tr>

Please help.

$xbt = 1 is an assignment...
use if($xbt==1) instead

No doesnt seem to work with the code layout i have or something,
because with the varible at the top of the page under the

<?

But with the varible under tyhe code u made under:

<?php
xbt = 1;

if (xbt == 1;)

etc etc then it works fine :S.

Then I assume there's something not right with the code layout you
have.

The only difference between <? and <?php is that <? assumes
'short tags' are enabled (which they usually are). Safest is
always to use <?php to begin a chunk of php script.

So, have we solved your problem??

Then my inevitable conclusion is that your 'layout' is wrongly
coded. If you want help with fixing it ... post a useful chunk of
the code you have and use the CODE button in your response to show
your code in the most readable format.
