    Hi!

    I'm just making sure that I'm understanding something correctly.

    Suppose I have the following PHP script:
    
<?php
$a="hi";
$b="bye";
$c="bye";
echo ("Before: $a");
if (($a=$b)===$c) {
echo ("In: ");
echo ($a);
}
echo ("Out: $a");
?>
    PHP:
    The if statement sets $a equal to $b and compares it to $c. $a remains the value of $b even after the if statement. I ran the script and that is what it seems to indicate, but I just want to make sure that that is correct and not some fluke.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Please let me know if you need any more information!
