PHP 'If' not working

Question

Basically I am trying to check if a variable is equal to 5, and then echo something if it is, but I get this error.

PHP Code

if ($adminlevel) === '5' {
    echo 'user is owner';
}

Error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '===' (T_IS_IDENTICAL) in C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC11\data\localweb\projects\Portfolio -- Website\forum\index.php on line 12

See the manual on [`if`](http://php.net/if). Conditions belong **in** the parens. — mario, Apr 05 '15 at 13:55
April fools was 4 days ago. (`if ($adminlevel) === '5'` really? Just move your bracket behind the 5!) — Rizier123, Apr 05 '15 at 13:55

if ($adminlevel === '5') {
    echo 'user is owner';
}

Move the paren to include the entire statement.
