If conditional behaviour

AT http://crockett.ca/joinoptional.php I have a page posted. PHP=
isn't set up on the server, so I've posted a screenshot of what=
it looks like at http://crockett.ca/joinoptionalrendered.bmp=
(1/2 MB, sorry). For some reason, it wants to repeat 'Victoria'=
in the form.

If I comment out the If conditional:

=09// if ($city =3D "Victoria") {
=09// echo "selected ";
=09// }

...the problem goes away and the different cities appear as=
expected.

The result of the query is at=
http://crockett.ca/queryresults.txt

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Re: If conditional behaviour

Did you try $city=="Victoria" ?

Re: If conditional behaviour

If you develop the habit of writing conditionals like this:

if ("Victoria" == $city)

instead of like this:

if ($city == "Victoria")

Your compiler (interpreter in PHP's case) will catch the assignment
vs. comparison error for you, because assigning to $city is valid but
assigning to a constant string "Victoria" isn't. Of course you'd
have to have display_errors On for PHP to report the problem....
