Your code is out of context as posted (BESIDES being posted here incorrectly to boot) so it makes it hard to tell you what to change. Show us some more code before this so we may see what mode you are in and what this line should therefore look like.

 

You don't tell us what is making you think it is wrong in the first place. We don't know if you have error checking turned on and are seeing a message or if you don't and are seeing a blank screen or if you are simply 'seeing' the php code on the screen because you are outside of php mode. At first glance the problem here is that you are burying php code inside your html code (bad practice - verrry bad) which is causing it to be not recognized as php.

if ($record['docs_available'] = "1")

"=" is the assignment operator.

"==" is the equality operator
