Re: Re: Applying the elseif and switch statement

[Joe Forsythe <jforsythe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To expand on what skotfred wrote, all of your elseif conditions need  
to have ==
THIS:
elseif ($mean = "ordinarily")
SHOULD BE THIS:
elseif ($mean == "ordinarily")

As one example.

On a side note, before you ever enter that logic, $mean is ALWAYS set  
to 'simple'. I don't know if you meant to have it in an array or  
anything like that.
