You can't put a var for testing this in a control instruction.
This will return some : syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE
You could use some eval() to do it, but it's not advisable.
Perhap's you could make something different with the following :
$option=$_GET['option']; // or POST or something else...
$numb1 = 5;
$numb2 = 10;
switch($option) {
case ">=":
if($numb1 >= $numb2){//someting}
break;
case "<=":
if($numb1 <= $numb2){//someting}
break;
case "==":
if($numb1 == $numb2){//someting}
break;
default://something else if there is no $option
break;
}
Or with a function like the following
function testVar($numb1,$numb2,$option)
{
// Same switch
}
