Getting concrete5 integer attribute value for comparison

I am using a system (concrete5) to edit some php in place. I am trying the following:

use Concrete\Core\User\UserInfo;
$ui = UserInfo::getByID(3);
$answer = $ui->getAttribute('Q1');
if ($answer >= 5)
    print "True";

When I insert a check on $answer by inserting print $answer, it returns 6 (this is attribute data held on the user). However, the if does not evaluate to true. And ideas why? Must I typeset the output or something?

Edit: I typecast to int with the same result.

Solution

  • The selected answer is not the proper approach.

    Use $ui->getAttribute('Q1','display').

    use Concrete\Core\User\UserInfo;
$ui = UserInfo::getByID(3);
$answer = $ui->getAttribute('Q1','display');
if ($answer >= 5)
print "True";
