Code always does code of if statement when it should also do else if.

So I'm trying to make this tic tac toe game change player after one player makes his move. To do this I wrote the player = 2 line of code at the end of if(player = 1) statement. But the program seems to think that player still equals 1 and never changes turn to player 2 (never does the else if statement). What is wrong with my code?
