First of all Here's the code:
$role = "Stupid PHP";
if( USE_FULL_NAME == TRUE){ $name = $first_name . ' ' . $last_name; } else { $name = $first_name; }
if( $role = 'Artist'){ $info = "I draw a lot"; } elseif( $role == 'Stupid PHP'){ $info = "I really hate PHP right now"; } else { $info = "PHP sucks"; }
The issue I'm having is in the second if statement. As it look right now, I should see "I really hate PHP right now" when I click preview, but instead, "I draw a lot" appears on the site. I've rewritten the code several times now and I've tried copying the code in the video as much as I can. No matter what I do, it ignores the elseif statement. I can't figure out what I've done wrong.

if( $role == 'Artist')
