Assignment in IF Clause

[JustBreathe]

PHP Code:

if ( temp.rid = true )
  {
  // Stuff
  } 


Does NOT work.

PHP Code:

temp.rid = true;
if ( temp.rid )
  {
  // Stuff
  } 


DOES.

Wrapping assignment in brackets doesn't fix this problem.


Practical Usage:

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
  {
  while ( temp.item = this.(@ "items"@ temp.count++ ) )
    {
    // Stuff
    }
  }
