PHP being stubborn

Anyone see what I'm doing wrong here?

<?
   if(time() - strtotime($adddate) <= 60*60*24*3)
{
echo '<img src="../images/new.gif" width="19" height="9" border="0">';

  if ($catalogid = 7)
   {
   echo '<img src="../images/vid.gif" border="0">';
   }

  else
   {
   echo '';
   }
}

   else 

{
echo '<img src="images/bullet_b.gif" width="11" height="9" border="0">';
}
      if ($catalogid = 7)
   {
     echo '<img src="../images/vid.gif" border="0">';
   }

  else
   {
     echo '';
   }
?>

Basically, if it's category 7 display vid.gif
The other code is, if it's new display new.gif

(so new and 7 = both)

new.gif displays fine,

When I upload this code, EVERYTHING gets vid.gif next to it.
Those things that are either new, or category 7 get two vid.gif's next to it.

change this:

if ($catalogid = 7)

to this:

if ($catalogid == 7)

thank you very very much.

A good coding practice to make it easy to avoid this issue in the future is to put the constant value first in the comparison :
if (7 == $catalogid)

that way if you did (7 = $categoryid) you'd get a compilation error

thanks for the tip.
