How to wrap <script> into if statement for wordpress <head>

I've been trying to implement a code provided by a wordpress plugin maker and I need a bit of help confirming if it works or not. The plugin in question is the PaidMembership Pro and it provides a possibility to hide ads for members. This is the snippet of code I should add to the template:

if ( function_exists( 'pmpro_displayAds' ) && pmpro_displayAds() ) {
    //insert ad code here
}

The ad code is a simply google adsense code:

<script data-ad-client="ca-pub-111111111111111" async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

I have no idea how to do it right. I tried adding it like this to wordpress header.php but wordpress throws me an error.

<?php if ( function_exists( 'pmpro_displayAds' ) && pmpro_displayAds() ) {
<script data-ad-client="ca-pub-111111111111111" async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
} ?>

I tried a couple of other variations too but didn't seem to work. Could someone help me out at least pointing me to a direction where I can look for answers? How the if should be wrapped or should it be at all? If I don't wrap it at all, it just shows up on the top of the frontend.

Thanks

You have mixed HTML and PHP code in your try. To make PHP generate the HTML you wish, you have to echo it:

<?php
if ( function_exists( 'pmpro_displayAds' ) && pmpro_displayAds() ) {
  echo('<script data-ad-client="ca-pub-111111111111111" async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>');
}
?>

for more on this, see echo() in PHP-Manuals

All PHP-Code (e.g. wordpress-logic) has to be wrapped in <?php ?> in order to get executed by the webserver.
