[PHP] UGH

[chris herring]

This is really bugging me. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work, yet it 
doesn't.

<?

$date = date ("d");
$math = 24 - $date;
if ($date = 24); {
     echo "<FONT SIZE=4 FACE=ARIAL COLOR=#808080>SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!!! *guitar 
ballad*</font>";
} else {
     echo "<FONT SIZE=4 FACE=ARIAL COLOR=#808080>Only $math days until school's out!!! 
w00p w00p!</font>";
}
?>

any help is appreciated
