php if help

Ok, let me start off by saying that I am new to all of this and I appreciate your patience. I am trying to add a menu to my website that is only visible to a specific role. I found this wpmu.org and it provided the base code but i cannot get it to work.

<?php if ( current_user_can( ‘delete_others_posts’ ) ) { //only admins and editors can see this ?>

• Secret Menu Item
• Other Restricted Link

<?php } else { ?>

• General Menu
• Anyone Can See This

<?php } ?>

To be honest I’m not entirely sure where i should be putting it but I’m assuming it should go where i would like the menu. I was also curious if i needed to add something to the functions.php for the if function but i assumed it would already be there. When I use the code it displays all of the listed items. Again I appreciate all of your help in advance.

**UPDATE**
You were correct. Thank you very much.
