Echo in an if statement?

Question

A very short question

how can i get this echo $Auth->if; to work in this if statement? i get no error when i run it but it dosen't seems to work at all? echo $Auth->id; show show the id number of the user logged in.

If i do for example <?php echo $Auth->id; ?> by itself it outputs the users id as it should.

if(($shortUrlDomain['premium_only'] != '0') && ($shortUrlDomain['premium_only'] != 'echo $Auth->id;'))
{
 continue;
}

You should be getting an `unexpected T_ECHO` here, had you error reporting set. — Funk Forty Niner, May 01 '20 at 18:04

Just replace echo $Auth->id;' by $Auth->id It won't work if you have an echo in your if also use == if = doesn't work.

if(($shortUrlDomain['premium_only'] !== '0') && ($shortUrlDomain['premium_only'] !==  $Auth->id))
    {
     continue;
    }

What did you do? What are we looking for that potentially solved their question? – Funk Forty Niner May 01 '20 at 17:57
I removed `'echo $Auth->id;'` – Thiago Guimarães May 01 '20 at 17:58

While this code may answer the question, providing additional context regarding why and/or how this code answers the question improves its long-term value. A ***good answer*** will always have an explanation of what was done and why it was done in such a manner, not only for the OP but for future visitors to SO. – Jay Blanchard May 01 '20 at 17:58
