Is there an error in the code shown in this video?

When checking for spam bots, shouldn't this code have two equal signs, not one?

code shown in the video @7:48: if ($_POST["address"] != "")

I checked the vid and can't find any errors. Have you watched the entire video?

There aren't two equal signs because that line uses the NOT operator !=

It checks that POST address is not an empty string.
