Tried the if statement but the value didnt change,

Answer 1

First you've to check if your $egg_type variable is being set in order not to make errors later Second you can do it like this

if(isset($egg_type)) {
if(in_array($egg_type, ['M/S Select Farm', 'Free Range'])) {
    $b_num = 1;
} elseif(in_array($egg_type, ['Intensive', 'Brioche'])) {
    $b_num = 3;
} elseif($egg_type === 'Organic') {
    $b_num = 0;
} elseif($egg_type === 'Barn') {
    $b_num = 2;
}
}
