Question

$var1 = 22;
$var2 = 10;
echo $var1 = ($var1 < $var2) ? $var1 : $var2; //smaller var
echo ‘
‘;
echo $var2 = ($var1 > $var2) ? $var1 : $var2; //greater var

I expect it to print 10 and 22 but it prints 10 and 10. any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

UPDATE
Thanks all.

    $min = min($var1, $var2); 
    $max = max($var1, $var2);

    $var1 = $min;
    $var2 = $max;

@unicornaddict already solved your problem, but to make it simpler you can use the min and max functions PHP provides.

echo min($var1, $var2), '<br/>', max($var1, $var2);
