i have been banging my head for hours and cant figure it out…  
im new to programing php but i cant figure out the if statements…  
i have a main site and an action php when you click submit in the login area it displays the username and pasword for it (just using that to check) but i cant figure out how to make it an if statement like  
login = admin  
password = password

action.php  
\<?php  
if (‘username’)= admin & (‘password’)= password  
print(“admin login accepted”);  
?\>

I use that on my action page and i click submit all it shows is a blank page…  
any help?
