      @if($user_role=='2'){
        <?php $status='1'; ?>
      }
      @elseif($user_role=='3'){
        <?php $status='2'; ?>
      }
      @elseif($user_role=='4'){

Answer 1

@if($user_role=='2')
  @php $status='1'; @endphp
@endif

@if($user_role=='3')
  @php $status='2'; @endphp
@endif

@if($user_role=='4')
  @php $status='3'; @endphp

you can check the value by adding echo

 @if($user_role=='4')
  @php echo $status='3'; @endphp
