php Using if is not changing?

Question

If the $status = pending or success the result is always warning. How is that possible? Am I using the else right? Maybe someone can help me with it. The $status is coming from a database. Can you explain whats the difference between = and == ?

Thanks sincerely Dennis

<?php if ($status == "pending") { 
            $class ="warning";
      } else if ($status == "succes"){
            $class = "succes";
      }
?>

Is this your exact code? The `=` assigns, the `==` compares. Have you outputted `$status` when it is returning `warning` and confirmed it is as expected? — chris85, Feb 06 '16 at 16:46
Your code looks syntactically ok. So, $status probably always contains "pending". Can you _echo $status_ before the _if (...)_ and check this? — hherger, Feb 06 '16 at 16:49
yes its used in a loop. Like for each variable in the database its create a line in the table. — dennis, Feb 06 '16 at 16:52

To answer your 2nd Question:
A single = is for asigning a value to a variable.

variable = "test"

Double == is for comparing

1 == 1 // True
