PHP If Statement is met display Either

Question

I am familiar with using if else statement but my problem is how to display either if the condition is met.

if ($a == 1) {

echo 'B' OR 'C';  // just for reference

}

I have finally figure this out using nested loop

  if ($a == 1) {
    choiceresult = mt_rand(1,2)

   if (choiceresult == 1) {
      echo 'B';
   }

   if ( choiceresult == 2) {
      echo 'C';
   }

  }

"I am familiar with using if else statement " and yet you are using it wrong, its `==` not `=`. what determines when to echo `C` and when to echo `B` ? — , May 28 '18 at 00:07

`=` is used for assignments, `==` or `===` are for comparisons. — jh1711, May 28 '18 at 00:10
if single line statement then you can use ternary condition like "echo ($a==1)?'B':'C'; " — Jaydp, May 28 '18 at 00:10

"I have finally figure this out using nested loop": there is no loop in the code you show — Karsten Koop, May 28 '18 at 08:07

you have to fix your condition first :

if($a == 1)

Instead pf

if($a = 1)
