Change PHP variable inside an if condition

Question

I have a system that logs in and depending on the type of user, a variable changes. It is either

$_SESSION['login_type'] = 'MASTER';

or

$_SESSION['login_type'] = 'BRANCH';

I would like to change the

($rowOrder['merchantid'] == $_SESSION['merchantid']))

depending on the $_SESSION['login_type']

so if it is BRANCH, it will be $rowOrder['branchid'] and if it is MASTER, it will be $rowOrder['merchantid'].

<?php

foreach($lstOrder as $rowOrder) {

if ($rowOrder['status'] == 'PENDING' && ($rowOrder['user_cancel'] == 0) && ($rowOrder['merchantid'] == $_SESSION['merchantid'])) {

}
 }

?>

I tried:

  if ($_SESSION['login_type'] = 'BRANCH') {
   $rowOrder['branchid'] == $_SESSION['branchid'])
  } else if ($_SESSION['login_type'] = 'MASTER') {
   $rowOrder['merchantid'] == $_SESSION['merchantid'])
  }

UPDATE:

I tried:

   <?php
     if ($_SESSION['login_type'] == 'MASTER') {
        foreach($lstOrder as $rowOrder) {
        if ($rowOrder['status'] == 'PENDING' && ($rowOrder['user_cancel'] == 0) && ($rowOrder['merchantid'] == $_SESSION['merchantid'])) {
    } else if ($_SESSION['login_type'] == 'BRANCH') {
        foreach($lstOrder as $rowOrder) {
        if ($rowOrder['status'] == 'PENDING' && ($rowOrder['user_cancel'] == 0) && ($rowOrder['branchid'] == $_SESSION['branchid'])) {
                  }

}}
   ?>

looking for an alternative since the one i tried gets "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'if' (T_IF)" — Button Press, Oct 11 '19 at 06:34

If it's not a duplicate you should first fix all those syntax errors you've posted in your updated code snippet — DarkBee, Oct 11 '19 at 06:53

Change this. Use double == instead of = in if condition. and Use single = instead of == inside if condition for assign value.

if ($_SESSION['login_type'] = 'BRANCH') {
   $rowOrder['branchid'] == $_SESSION['branchid'])
  } else if ($_SESSION['login_type'] = 'MASTER') {
   $rowOrder['merchantid'] == $_SESSION['merchantid'])
  }

To

if ($_SESSION['login_type'] == 'BRANCH') {
   $rowOrder['branchid'] = $_SESSION['branchid'])
  } else if ($_SESSION['login_type'] == 'MASTER') {
   $rowOrder['merchantid'] = $_SESSION['merchantid'])
  }

Change this Also

    if ($_SESSION['login_type'] == 'MASTER') {
    foreach($lstOrder as $rowOrder) {
        if ($rowOrder['status'] == 'PENDING' && ($rowOrder['user_cancel'] == 0) && ($rowOrder['merchantid'] == $_SESSION['merchantid'])) {
            echo 1;
        } 
    }
}else if ($_SESSION['login_type'] == 'BRANCH') {
    foreach($lstOrder as $rowOrder) {
        if ($rowOrder['status'] == 'PENDING' && ($rowOrder['user_cancel'] == 0) && ($rowOrder['branchid'] == $_SESSION['branchid'])) {
            echo 1;
        }
    }
}

that whole if is inside the parenthesis after &&, if i do that i get "unexpected 'if' (T_IF)" — Button Press, Oct 11 '19 at 06:52
