=don't be sorry, these 'blind spots' are the strength of the group.

=check out the differences between =, the assignment operator; and == the logical 
comparision operator; and ===
the logical type and comparison operator. You've used the first in the IF, when you 
want the second!

Change it to == 1

if("$current_month == 1")

I'm sorry to bother the newsgroup with this, but I've been racking my
brain on it for a few hours, and tried all the documentation, and
realize it's a coding problem that will take someone about 3 seconds to
figure out the error in.  I have this code:

");
 print("Previous
Month");
 print("Current
Month");
 print("");
 ?>

but for some reason, no matter what the month, the first if statement
(if current_month = 1) is seen as true and executes...  any suggestions?

[PHP] problem with working with dates

[Jacob Walker]

I'm sorry to bother the newsgroup with this, but I've been racking my
brain on it for a few hours, and tried all the documentation, and
realize it's a coding problem that will take someone about 3 seconds to
figure out the error in.  I have this code:

");
 print("Previous
Month");
 print("Current
Month");
 print("");
 ?>

but for some reason, no matter what the month, the first if statement
(if current_month = 1) is seen as true and executes...  any suggestions?
