php If statement inside html table wrong output

Question

i need to use if statement inside my table the value of the row is "Released" but i want to show Pending on my html table. how can i achieve it. this is my current code. what's wrong with my if statement?

 if (strlen($row['signed']) == "Released") {
                                    echo "Pending";
                                    }
                                    else{
                                        echo $row['signed']; 
                                    }

strlen() returns the length of the argument, so it returns an integer. You're trying to compare an integer to a string, which always fails. — Qirel

why you are using strlen function? try it with remove of strlen function. — Hamza Zafeer

strlen checks for string length. first check either signed is set in the array and then check if value is equal

 if (isset($row['signed']) && $row['signed'] == "Released") {
                                    echo "Pending";
                                    }
                                    else{
                                        echo $row['signed']; 
                                    }

strlen() returns the length of the argument, so it returns an integer. You can check if value is equals to the string which you want something like this:

if ($row['signed'] == "Released") {
   echo "Pending";
} else {
   echo "Released";
}

strlen() is used to count the length of the string, to check if it matches "Released", just use == to compare:

if ($row['signed'] == "Released") {
    echo "Pending";
} else {
    echo $row['signed']; 
}

To find out is $row['signed'] is set, just use isset():

if (isset($row['signed'])) {
    echo "Pending";
} else {
    echo $row['signed']; 
}

Try this:

if ($row['signed'] == "Released") {
   $value = "Pending";
} else {
   $value = "Released" 
}

And add <?php echo $value; ?> in your table
