Display text based on POST variable
Perhaps I'm having a brain lapse but i cannot get a variable to work. I want to post text based on what the POST variable is. I am using the code below.
I am then using the $quart variable to display the user's choice.
<?php
// Get Quarter to show report selected
if($_POST['qSelect'] = '1') { $quart = "First Quarter"; }
elseif($_POST['qSelect'] = '2') {$quart = "Second Quarter"; }
?>I am then using the $quart variable to display the user's choice.

rik is right, your problem is the = you used in the if statement, instead of the ==. Remember in php = is for assigning values to a variable, == is for comparison. So what you are doing in the if statement is assigning first 1 to $_POST['qSelect'] then assigning it 2 instead of checking the values.
