$title not displaying in <title>$title</title>

For some reason $title will not display in the <title></title> using print or echo. I've tried modifying the if staments to ifelse, and even fiddled with $_GET to get this working. Tried dbl/single quotes, even changed the variable around thinking $title might be a global. nothing working yet. Any ideas?

<?php

$page == 'home';
$title == "Welcome!";

if ($page == 'home') { $title == "Welcome!"; }
elseif ($page == 'about') { $title == "about us"; }
elseif ($page == 'products') { $title == "Products"; }
elseif ($page == 'services') { $title == "Services"; }
elseif ($page == 'repair') { $title == "Upgrades & Repairs"; }
elseif ($page == 'network') { $title == "Network Solutions"; }
?>

See, now this is what I get for staying up till 4am.

Comparison operators vs variable store operators.

/me figured it out.

For those coming from google as I did...

When you are using IF Statements you have to use double equal signs (==) to compare values. But when you store info into a variable you only use one (=) equal sign.

Hope this helps someone in the future. =)

You might also want to look into switch statements for this kind of thing.
