PHP Help

  • I dont know PHP and looked for the answer, but couldn’t find it. I am trying to create an if statement where it displays a certain image, unless I specify a different image for a certain category.

    I have this:

    <?php if (in_category('1') ): ?>
    <img src='/images/teams.jpg' />
    <?php elseif in_category('4') ): ?>
    <img src='/images/child-sponsorship.jpg' />
    <?php else: ?>
    <img src='/images/home-image.jpg' />
    <?php endif; ?>

  • <?php
    if (in_category(‘1′)) echo “<img src=’/images/teams.jpg’ />”;
    elseif (in_category(‘4′)) echo “<img src=’/images/child-sponsorship.jpg’ />”;
    else echo “<img src=’/images/home-image.jpg’ />”;?>

    Does this help?

    I hate using if followed by colons. Hard to read and understand.. Bah. I’m also not a big fan of continually opening and closing the PHP blocks every other line.

    Try this instead:
    <?php
    if (in_category('1')) {
    echo "<img src='/images/teams.jpg' />";
    }
    else if (in_category('4')) {
    echo "<img src='/images/child-sponsorship.jpg' />";
    }
    else {
    echo "<img src='/images/home-image.jpg' />";
    }
    ?>

    See how much nicer that is? Spaced out, easy to read, groups the bits together naturally… just nicer, IMO. Works too. ??

    Thanks for all your help! But I’m still having a problem…the home page displays does not display the “else” image, but rather, the image from the corresponding category of the first post. Suggestions?

    Not first post, but most recent post. (The first one WP displays.)

    jefft: Add an “if (is_home()) { blah blah }” to the beginning of the series of if statements. That way, you can explicitly define what you want on the home page.
