My inside if else is not working. Its just showing approve in all cases

<?php if ($data['status'] = 'pending') { ?>
    <a href="approve.php?id=<?php echo $data['id'];?>"><button Class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Approve</button></a>
<?php } else { ?>
    <a href="approve.php?id=<?php echo $data['id'];?>"><button Class="btn btn-success btn-sm">Approved</button></a>
<?php } ?>

This code is to print "approve" if user is not approved and print "approved" if user is already approved, but it's not working, showing approve in all cases

Solution

  • Change

    if($data['status']='pending')

    To

    if($data['status']=='pending')

    Edit:

    if($data['status'] === 'pending')

    Will check the value as well as types.
