What is wrong with my `if` statement?

Question

I'm using an if statement to declare whether a user is an admin, mod or neither with this code below, but its messing up by always making $status = "admin" even if that person is neither, this has really baffled me.

if($info['rights'] == "m") {
    $status = '<font color="#FFFFFF">(mod)</font>';
}elseif ($info['rights'] == "a"); {
    $status = '<font color="#FFFFFF">(admin)</font>';
}

Answer 1

You seem to have accidentaly added a semicolon (;) after the elseif, so the second code block is always getting executed.

Answer 2

Is there supposed to be a semi-colon after "a")?

Answer 3

Is $info declared? Where is $info defined and assigned?

Answer 4

You have a syntax error in your code.

You can try this:

if($info['rights'] == "m") {
  $status = '<font color="#FFFFFF">(mod)</font>';
} else if ($info['rights'] == "a") {
  $status = '<font color="#FFFFFF">(admin)</font>';
}
