In PHP, if is a statement, but the = operator expects an expression, so that is invalid syntax. If you want to assign something to $number when the condition is true, then you can use something like:

if (10 < 1)
{
    $number = ...;
    $n = 0;
}

You have a typo and some syntax error.

&n = 1;

That should be:

$n = 1;

Also, you can't really assign the value of an if statement to your variable.

Try simply using a ternary instead.

$n = (10 < 1) ? 1 : 0;
