I'm editing some code written by someone else.

I trying to figure this statement out:

$tried2 = ($_POST['f_tried2'] == 'yes');

the data being posted (f_tried2) would either be 'yes' or nothing.

I understand that one = assigns a value.  And I have used double == to test equavelency in an 'if' statement.  But does this statement make the value 'yes' if the post has something in it or what?


What does this double == do?

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
