This worked for me and I am able to get the file type extension but now I would like to use an if statement with that extension so I can assign icons to my files based on the file type. So for example, if the filetype equals pdf then I would output a pdf icon. How can I do an if else type of statement using this?

I tried the following but no luck:

<?php $attachment_id = get_field('document_upload');
$url = wp_get_attachment_url( $attachment_id );
$title = get_the_title( $attachment_id );

// part where to get the filesize
$filesize = filesize( get_attached_file( $attachment_id ) );
$filesize = size_format($filesize, 2);
$path_info = pathinfo( get_attached_file( $attachment_id ) );

// show custom field
if (get_field('document_upload')): ?>

<?php echo $filesize; ?>
<?php echo $path_info['extension']; ?>

<?php
if ($path_info = "pdf") {
    echo "<i class='fa fa-file-pdf-o' aria-hidden='true'></i>";
} ?>

<?php endif; ?>	

Not really sure where to go from here. Thanks
