Help with php conditions.

    I need a little help!

    I’m fully aware that this might be the noobyish noob problem ever, but my PHP skills are very rudimentary.

    What I want to do is to set up a condition where the beginning of an entry would return one of three results:

    1) A video
    2) If no video is set, a thumbnail
    3) If no thumbnail is set, nothing

    The video is embedded via a plug in.

    Here’s what I have:

    <div class="entry">

<?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, "_videoembed", true) || get_post_meta($post->ID, "_videoembed_manual", true) ): ?>
        <div class="video">
            <?php echo p75GetVideo($post->ID); ?>
        </div>
        <?php endif; ?>
<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
	<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><img class="postimg" src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/timthumb.php?src=<?php get_image_url(); ?>&h=200&w=490&zc=1" alt=""/></a>
<?php } else { ?>
	<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><img class="postimg" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/dummy.png" alt="" /></a>
<?php } ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>

    What am I doing wrong? I know it has something to do with if/else commands, but I’m lost as to what to do next.

    Many, many thanks in advance!

  • Hi,

    Try this

    <div class="entry">

<?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, "_videoembed", true) || get_post_meta($post->ID, "_videoembed_manual", true) ) { ?>
        <div class="video">
            <?php echo p75GetVideo($post->ID); ?>
        </div>
<?php } else if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
			<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><img class="postimg" src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/timthumb.php?src=<?php get_image_url(); ?>&h=200&w=490&zc=1" alt=""/></a>
<?php } else { ?>
			<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><img class="postimg" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/dummy.png" alt="" /></a>
<?php } ?>

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

<div class="clear"></div>
</div>

    It worked like a charm! So basically, <?php } else if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?> was the way to go. But I thought I needed an <?php endif; ?> to hold it all together.

    I just learned something! Thanks so much, hiteshanjara!
