PHP newbie - if statement "not working?"

Please help

Hi

I'm new to PHP and a (apparently easy) problem is driving me nuts.

I want to check the URL and display country relevant pictures. Simple.

When I run my script all the pictures are loaded!

<?php 
 $actual_link = "http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";
 $actual_link = strtolower($actual_link);
 $UseDefault = "1";
 
 if (strpos($actual_link, 'country1') > 0)
  $UseDefault = "0";
  { ?>
  <img src="Image URL" alt="Image Alt" /> 
  <img src="Image URL" alt="Image Alt" /> 
  <img src="Image URL" alt="Image Alt" /> 
  <?php
  }
 if (strpos($actual_link, 'country2') > 0)
  $UseDefault = "0";
  { ?>
  <img src="Image URL" alt="Image Alt" /> 
  <img src="Image URL" alt="Image Alt" /> 
  <img src="Image URL" alt="Image Alt" /> 
  <?php
  }
 if ($UseDefault = "1")
  {
  if(get_cf_matrix('banner-image','45'))
  { 
   foreach(get_cf_matrix('banner-image','45') as $image)
   { ?>
   <img src="<?php echo $image->url; ?>" alt="<?php echo $image->alt; ?>" /> 
   <?php  
   }
  }
  } ?>

In the above case all nine images are displayed! Scratching my head.

Thanks in advance.

Hmmmm...while re-reading my post I noticed a bug.

the $UseDefault = "0"; should be inside the {

I fixed that but the if ($UseDefault = "1") are always being displayed.

Nearly there!

The if statement should have == not =

Still learning!

The if statement should have == not =

I believe this is my single most common error in javascript :) And the only reason it doesn't hold the same position among php errors is that I simply don't do enough of it.

I like the way you were able to solve your own problem after giving up and posting it publicly. Been there. Done that.
