This is incredibly frustrating. I have written several scripts but there is something about my latest that just doesn't work. I have stripped it down to a retarded level and it still won't run. This is the html form: <form method="post" action="add.php"> Password: <input type="text" name="pass"> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> </p> </form> I then get a parse error for the correct php file in line that contains the "if" statement: <?php if ( &pass == "fargo" ) {print "works";} else {print "Wrong password.";} ?> Please, someone with less tired eyes tell me what the hell I have done wrong. Thanks.

$pass instead of &pass?

Good God, thank you. I new fresh eyes would catch something simple. I was staring at that for an hour. Thank you so much.

You're welcome.
