if else statement..help

hi all, i just wanna hide the 'recent added' in subscriber profile page(author.php). as they wont be able to doing any posting in the wordpress blog..and remain original for others.(author/contributor). how can i do it with if else statement?
for example

<?php if ( user_role_check( 'subscriber' )): ?>
<?php else: ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Code (markup):

together with this

<?php // Recently Added
$link = add_query_arg('filter_type', 'user_added', get_author_posts_url($user_id));
            $args = array(
                'view' => 'grid-small',
                'title' => __('Recently Added', 'dp'),
                'link' => $link,
                'author' => $user_id,
                'post_type' => 'post',
                'ignore_sticky_posts' => true,
                'posts_per_page' => 6
            );
            dp_section_box($args);
        ?>

Code (markup):

 

First off, welcome to why I think opening and closing PHP on every blasted line for no reason is the most {string of expletives omitted} idiotic way of writing PHP. There's a reason I call the code under the hood of turdpress some of the worst in the industry.

Second, you want the second snippet only to run when they are NOT a subscriber, right? If so, you don't need 'else', you need the 'not' operator. (which is an exclamation point)

<?php
if (!user_role_check('subscriber')) {
	$link = add_query_arg(
		'filter_type',
		'user_added',
		get_author_posts_url($user_id)
	);
	$args = array(
		'view' => 'grid-small',
		'title' => __('Recently Added', 'dp'),
		'link' => $link,
		'author' => $user_id,
		'post_type' => 'post',
		'ignore_sticky_posts' => true,
		'posts_per_page' => 6
	);
	dp_section_box($args);
}
?>

Code (markup):

That should do the job, if they are not a subscriber, run the sectionBox thing... though if args isn't used again elsewhere on the page, I'd not be wasting memory putting it in a variable... same for $link

<?php
if (!user_role_check('subscriber')) dp_section_box(array(
	'view' => 'grid-small',
	'title' => __('Recently Added', 'dp'),
	'link' => add_query_arg(
		'filter_type',
		'user_added',
		get_author_posts_url($user_id)
	),
	'author' => $user_id,
	'post_type' => 'post',
	'ignore_sticky_posts' => true,
	'posts_per_page' => 6
));
?>

Code (markup):

Should be functionally identical as long as you don't need those variables later.

 

unfortunate to say that i don't have basic prior knowledge of php.but i added the script accordingly and its not working. sidebar and footer was missing too.
