laravel if statement not working

Question

can anyone please tell me why when the results are equal then it echo's out the response, but when the results are false then it shows a blank page. I am sure i have gone wrong somewhere.

if(isset($_GET['EX1']) && $_GET['EX2'] != ""){

        $Email = $_GET['EX1'];
        $Password = $_GET['EX2'];

        $userDetails = DB::table('applicants')
            ->where('Email', '=', $Email)
            ->where('Password','=', $Password)
            ->get();

        if($Email = $userDetails[0]->Email && $Password = $userDetails[0]->Password){

            echo 'Both are the same ';

        }else{

            echo 'Not the same';

        }
    }

If you're just going to look for the first user in the array, you can use first() instead of get(). Then you can drop the [0] from your userDetails. — aynber

if($Email = $userDetails[0]->Email && $Password = $userDetails[0]->Password){

should be

if($Email == $userDetails[0]->Email && $Password == $userDetails[0]->Password){

You're using assignment = instead of comparison == which will always return true

This would work!

public function myfunction(Request $request) {
    if(!empty($request->EX1) && !empty($request->EX2)){

        $Email = $request->EX1;
        $Password = $request->EX2;

        $userDetails = DB::table('applicants')
            ->where('Email', '=', $Email)
            ->where('Password','=', $Password)
            ->get();

        if($Email == $userDetails[0]->Email && $Password == $userDetails[0]->Password){

            return 'Both are the same ';

        }else{

            return 'Not the same';

        }
    } else {
        return 'error';
    }
}

Btw, you need to change if(.... = ....) to if(.... == ....). = is for assigning values and == is for comparing values.

Hope this works!
