help with an if statement, please

[fubarur]

Ok this one is driving me crazy... 

 

I have product categories and I want a little snipet of html to be displayed if someone looks a one certain category

 

category is 79000

 

<?php
// Scratch & Dent
echo $product['sub_category_id'];
if ($product['sub_category_id'] == 79000);
?>

<tr><td colspan="2" class="font-smx"><?=display_cms_data(160)?></td><tr>


<?php
else:
?>

 

What happens is that no matter what category that is viewed this html gets displayed. I have added the echo line when I was having issues to make sure that I had it pulling from correct area.

 

When I view the 79000 category I see the correct echo number and get the html displayed, but when viewing another category (lets say 36800) echo line says 36800 and html is still displayed.

 

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Remove the ";" from the end of you "if" statement

Thanks Ken

 

I tried

 

<?php
// Scratch & Dent
if ($product['sub_category_id'] == 79000)
?>

<tr><td colspan="2" class="font-smx"><?=display_cms_data(160)?></td><tr>


<?php
else:
?>

 

No change, any ideas?

You need a colon there. See the manual on alternative syntax.

colon gives me a white page

[kenrbnsn]

Change it to

<?php
// Scratch & Dent
if ($product['sub_category_id'] == 79000) {
   echo '<tr><td colspan="2" class="font-smx">' . display_cms_data(160) . '</td><tr>';
}
?>

 

You don't need an "else" clause if there's nothing to do.
