PHP-coding help: how to exclude and include divs

Look at using an “else” statement along with your “if“
https://www.w3schools.com/php/php_if_else.asp

Hi Andrew,

thank you for the link. I don’t really know that much of what I am doing, and I noticed the examples there have the echo part between { and }. In my (working) code, it is not. How should I arrange this?

Just by looking at w3schools I thought something like:

<?php
if (is_home())
echo '<div id="home">text</div>';
else
{
echo '<div id="other">text></div>';
}
?>

How should I arrange this?

To make the code easier to read you should use those curly braces to wrap code inside “if” and “else” statements.

For example,

<?php
if ( is_home() ) {
 echo '<div id="home">text</div>';
}
else {
 echo '<div id="other">text></div>';
}
?

Does that help?

Hi Andrew,

yes it does, very much. I thought at first that it made my site disappear, but that is because you missed a > at the end. Now it works great! And I’ve learnt something about those braces and if and else. Couldn’t be better! A sunday well spent, even if this is the only thing I do ??
