Display content dependant on user role, queried from database

[system]

Hi everyone.

I’m just learning php, but I’m stuck on this. I’m trying to display a tabbed interface on a web page if the user’s role is “coach” but if not then output some other php/html.

The tabs work fine, but at the moment the tabs show no matter what the user’s role is.

So far I’ve got this structure:

<? if($user_data['role'] = "coach"){?>

			<div id="TabbedPanels1" class="TabbedPanels">
				HTML and php goes here and is displayed if the role =coach
			</div>
            }
             else {
			Some other html

Any help or guidance gratefully received.

if($user_data[‘role’] = “coach”)

You’re assigning not checking.

if($user_data[‘role’] == “coach”)
