   I am trying to display a message if the user that is logged in is the author of the post. I am doing something wrong below. I logged in with a different user, the IDs change but I stil get the message "You are the author of this post". Any ideas?

   <?php $getid = $posts[0]->post_author; ?>
   
   <?php echo 'Hello: ' . $getid; ?>
   
   <?php global $current_user;
         get_currentuserinfo();
   
         echo 'Hi: ' . $current_user->display_name . "\n";
         echo 'your user ID is: ' . $current_user->ID . "\n";
   ?>
   
   <?php if ($getid == $current_user->ID);
   
   echo "You are the author of this post";
   
   ?>

   Thank you
