Message:

I am getting a number that is either 1 or 2 from a php site. If else statements below always return 7. I checked the var z function it works well and returns the numbers. I checked if returned values are actually seen as numbers and thats true. Tried both == and === in the statements. Tried putting '' for values after =. Nothing worked. What could be the issue?

var z = '<?php echo $x; ?>'; 

if (z == 1){

    q = 5;

} else if (z == 2){

    q = 6;

} else {

    q = 7;

}

EDIT, MORE CODE for variable £x:

 <?php 

                $x = (mt_rand(1,2)); ?>

                <script>

                  var z = '<?php echo $x; ?>';

                </script>

My Answer:
';

if (z == 1) {
console.log('Number is 1');
} else if (z == 2) {
console.log('Number is 2');
} else {
console.log('Number is neither 1 nor 2');
}
