If/Else Statements

[DavvaM]

I am trying to show a header image on my home page.

In the backend it is possible to select a checkbox for each news post and event post that will show a header image on the home page.

At the moment if I select to show an event post image it still leaves the div space above for the news post image, so we need to hide his if an event image is selected and vice versa.

Would this be possible with if/else statements?

Below are the PHP functions

<div class="col- big-news-here">
<?= $news2[0] ?>
<?= $eventsHome[0] ?>
</div>

So basically,

If news image is selected show the news div and banner

If the events banner is selected show the events div and banner and hide news div.

Many thanks

Probably?

Consider that we have absolutely no idea who you are, what you're working with, or what kind of problem you're facing - except for what you tell us. Things like "news posts" and "header images" and "events banners" mean nothing to us unless you can describe what they are.

Actually - Below are NOT php functions.  It is simply some sloppy php code.

<div class="col- big-news-here">
<?= $news2[0] ?>
<?= $eventsHome[0] ?>
</div>

Here is some better code:

echo "
	<div class='col- big-news-here'>
	$news2[0]
	$eventsHome[0]
	</div>
	";

Of course if you want to format it a bit you can add some more html.

It does exactly the same thing. Apart from making the PHP processor work a little harder, what does it achieve?

It is code that makes sense without having to switch gears to interpret it.
