PHP Fatal error: Can't use function return value in write context in

Question

I get the following error bellow and was wondering how can I correct this error

Fatal error: Can't use function return value in write context in

PHP code

$number = '1,200.91';
$number = str_replace(',', '', $number);
$number = number_format((float)$number, 2, '.', '');

if(strlen($number) = 7){
    echo $number;
}

replace if(strlen($number) = 7){ to if(strlen($number) == 7){, put "==" — Brijal Savaliya, Jun 20 '16 at 11:19

= is not the same as ==

Code should be like this: if(strlen($number) == 7){

You are missing the == in the if statement

change this line:

if(strlen($number) = 7){

to:

if(strlen($number) == 7){
