confirm current password in php

Question

i am trying to make a website using php with mysql database.. here is my code

<?php
$con=mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");
mysql_select_db("mydatabase", $con);
$query = "INSERT INTO tblSecurity Values('".$_POST['txtUser']."','".$_POST['txtPass']."')";
$password = $_POST['txtPass'];
$confirm = $_POST['txtPassConfrm'];
mysql_query($query, $con);
if($password = $confirm)
{

Header("Location: Login.php");
}
else
{
echo"Verify your Answer";
}
?>

the problem is, how can i verify if the confirm password is same with the password inputted, this code works but it wont move to ELSE even the passwords are not the same. can anyone help me correct this please.. thanks

`if($password = $confirm)` should be `if($password == $confirm)` — andrewsi, Oct 24 '15 at 16:13
thanks sir. it help me verifying the password. but the problem now has change. even wrong password the 'user' and 'pass' have its values in my database; — Al Omar, Oct 24 '15 at 16:19
The code you've provided is for adding fields into the database; there's nothing in there to check logins. — andrewsi, Oct 24 '15 at 16:22
Also, avoid using `mysql_*` functions since they are deprecated. Switch to `mysqli_*` instead or use PDO. http://php.net/manual/en/book.pdo.php — thormeier, Oct 24 '15 at 16:24

better practice is check two passwords are same in inputting stage. here also code is correct , only mistake is php needs == instead of =.
