Laravel PHP for loops and if statements

Question

Currently trying to build a for loop to read through my $userSkills array and then using an if statement to print out specific text based on it.

This is how the code looks like

@for ($x = 1; $x < $skillCount; $x++) {
    @if($userSkills[$x] = '{ 66; }')
        <span>Hi</span>
    @else
        <span>{{$userSkills[$x]}}</span>
    @endif                        
}
@endfor

And in my array it would be {AA, 66, 67, 69} So I wanted to make it print out as such

Hi 67 69

However the output looks like this

{ Hi } { Hi } { Hi }

@if($userSkills[$x] = '{ 66; }') should be @if($userSkills[$x] == '{ 66; }') — Felippe Duarte

A single equal sign is an assignment so what you're doing in the if parens is setting $userSkills[$x] equal to '{ 66; }' which will evaluate to true so the if block is executed. You'll want to use either a double equals sign to check if the value is the same or a triple equals sign to test for the same value and the same type.

Also, $userSkills[1] will be equal to 66 rather than '{ 66; }' and arrays are 0 based so you'll want to change $x = 1 to $x = 0.

please try the code below:

@foreach ($userSkills as $userSkill)
 <span>
  {!! $userSkill == 66 ? 'HI' : $userSkill !!}
 </span>
@endforeach
