<?PHP

$strRan = rand(1, 15);

If ($strRan = 15) {echo ('The number is 15');} else {echo ('The number is not 15');}

?>
</body>
</html>For me it always says The number is 15.

That's correct. You are accidentally reassigning the value of $strRan in your if-statement, because you lost one equality sign. You'd rather need:


If ($strRan == 15) {echo ('The number is 15');} else {echo ('The number is not 15');}

I don't understand why I need 2, so can you tell me, but thanks for fixing the problem (had to load it 20 times to make it say that :D).
