根据列值显示不同的颜色

Question

I am fetching values from DB & displaying in php page.

1st row value : attempted

2nd row value : not

echo $orderrecords[$k]["attempted"];

now based on column [ attempted ] value, i want to display different colors . So when i tried below code, instead of displaying different colors , both rows are displaying value : attempted

if($orderrecords[$k]["attempted"]="attempted")
{
echo '<div style="color: red;">'.$orderrecords[$k]["attempted"].'</div>';
}

else
{
echo '<div style="color: black;">'.$orderrecords[$k]["attempted"].'</div>';
}

Answer 1

try if($orderrecords[$k]["attempted"]==="attempted") ,

=== is used to compare same type and same value, whereas = is just assignment and hence every time you're assigning value attemped to the variable.

Answer 2

The problem is that you are not comparing the value in your if-condition. You are setting the value of $orderrecords[$k]["attempted"] in your if-condition.

if($orderrecords[$k]["attempted"] = "attempted")

will always be true

if($orderrecords[$k]["attempted"] == "attempted")

will be true, if the value of $orderrecords[$k]["attempted"] is "attempted"

if($orderrecords[$k]["attempted"] === "attempted")

will be true, if the value of $orderrecords[$k]["attempted"] is "attempted" and the type of $orderrecords[$k]["attempted"] is a string
