    If statement trouble

    I'm having trouble with this if statement:

    if($line[$c]=$ignore
    {
    $num--;
    }


    $ignore is defined as the string "ig"

    $line is an array containing 5 items, some of which may be "ig"

    $num starts out as a number representing the number of values in $line


    The if statement you see above is nested inside a small for loop that
    simply runs throught the process 5 times, and goes through the array
    $line. At each point it is SUPPOSED to check and see if the current
    value of $line at that particular slot ($c) is equal to "ig". If so,
    then it decrements $num by 1.

    My problem is it doesn't seem to care whether or not $line[$c] equal
    "ig" or not. It's just decrementing $num all willy nilly.
