Hi guys, I was wondering if i could assign values to a variable inside an IF statement. My code is as follows:
<?php
    if ((count($newArray) = array("hello", "world")) == 0) {
        // do something
    }
?>
So basically i want assign the array to the $newArray variable, then count newArray and check to see if it is an empty array.
I know i can do this on several lines but just wondered if i could do it on one line
Thanks M
