In the following loop the first var_dump is int(2). In the last var_dump the value is int(0). I don't understand where the value of $total_gals changes.
<?php
$total_gals = count( glob("images/*", GLOB_ONLYDIR) );
$loadnum = 0;
var_dump($total_gals);
if ($total_gals = 0) {
echo "<script>alert('No Galleries to Load');</script>";
var_dump($total_gals);
} elseif ($total_gals > 5) {
$loadnum = 5;
} else {
$loadnum == $total_gals;
}
var_dump($total_gals);
?>
