How to run a function in Laravel if the function is executed?

Question

Laravel

Good afternoon, there is a function in the controller, I run the post through the route, I need to run the following function in the same file only if the first condition is met. But unfortunately, if you run a function inside a function, nothing works, can those who know advise?

Answer 1

nothing works

This is not an explanation of the problem.
Most likely you are doing a call to the second function after return.
Also, I think you should read how middleware works: you probably want to use it.
