PHP newbie problem

[PeteM]

Why does this piece of code print XXX every time?

----------------------------
srand ((double) microtime() * 1000000);
$randomnumber=rand (1,10);

echo($randomnumber);

if ($randomnumber=1) {
echo('XXX');
}
----------------------------

Thanks, Pete

You are using assignment as opposed to comparison. Try this...

if ($randomnumber == 1) { 
 echo('XXX'); 
}
