input object powershell change - powershell

Question

I am trying to change the $InvalidInput= $True from a linux to a powershell command. I can run the command through powershell and it tells me that $InvalidInput= $True is true and then comes back false.
I am lost on how to change this. Any information is helpful.
$InvalidInput= $true
if ( $n -eq 0 ) {
write-host "This script sets up TF90 Staging"
write-host -n "Which production do you `enter code here`want to run?(RB/TaxLocator/Cyclic)"
read $ProductionDistroenter code here
} else {
$ProductionDistro=$1
}
while { $InvalidInput = $true }
do
if ($ProductionDistro = $RB -o $ProductionDistro = $TaxLocator -o $ProductionDistro = $Cyclic) {
$InvalidInput=$false
break continue
} else {
write-host "You have entered an error"
write-host "You must type RB or TaxLocator or Cyclic"
write-host "you typed $ProductionDistro"
write-host "This script sets up TF90 Staging"
read $ProductionDistro
}

The full script will be poseted below so you can see what I am trying to do.

# create destination if it's not there ...
#mkdir $destination -force -erroraction SilentlyContinue
foreach($original in ls $source -recurse) {
$result = $original.FullName.Replace($source,$destination)
while(test-path $result -type leaf){ $result = [IO.Path]::ChangeExtension($result,"copy$([IO.Path]::GetExtension($result))") }
if($original.PSIsContainer) {
# mkdir $result -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
# } else {
copy $original.FullName -destination $result
}

the out that is produced is
d/tf90/code_stg
d/tf90bp/code_stg
d/tf90lm/code_stg
d/tf90pv/code_stg
This script sets up TF90 Staging
$InvalidInput=$true
True
You have entered an error
You must type TF90 or TF90BP or TF90LM or TF90PV
you typed
This script sets up TF90 Staging
after it shows this nothing happens and nothing has been done. My goal is to get it to ask what production i want to choose and let me choose it and also ask what element I want to choose and load the package into the folder. None of this has been done.

I think an easier way to do this would be to prompt the user for their input, and then do a While ([User Input] -NotMatch RB or TaxLocator or Cyclic) {Give error and ask again}. Mind you, that's pseudocode but I think that's going to serve you better than what you're working with. Check this code out:
write-host "This script sets up TF90 Staging"
$ProductionDistro = Read-Host -Prompt "Which production do you `enter code here`want to run?(RB/TaxLocator/Cyclic)"
While($ProductionDistro -notmatch "(RB|TaxLocator|Cyclic)"){
write-host "`nYou have entered an error" -ForegroundColor Red
write-host "You must type RB or TaxLocator or Cyclic"
write-host "you typed $ProductionDistro"
write-host "This script sets up TF90 Staging"
$ProductionDistro = Read-Host -Prompt "Which production do you `enter code here`want to run?(RB/TaxLocator/Cyclic)"
}
