Question about if / else - Developers

Hello guys, I'm using CuteNews on my website and i create a custom template for my CuteNews, my question was like If there's a way to change the color of the titles Here is the code of how the title appear in the news: [code] <td><div><img src="http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/icons/page_word.png"><font color="grey"> {title}</font></div></td>[/code] What im trying to do is something like [IMG]http://gyazo.com/034347844f5829662b2c4d00a49e4c6e.png[/IMG] Well if {category-id} == 1 ( i don't know how to make it or write it xD ) then <td><div><img src="http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/icons/page_word.png"><font color="red"> {title}</font></div></td> else <td><div><img src="http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/icons/page_word.png"><font color="grey"> {title}</font></div></td> end Im wondering if there's a way to make this (: Thanks ! <3

[QUOTE]if($categoryid == 1) { echo "<HTML GOES HERE>"; } elseif($categoryid == 2) { echo "<HTML GOES HERE>"; } else { echo "<HTML GOES HERE>"; }[/QUOTE] Hope this helps~

[QUOTE=Luna Prey;43198831]Hope this helps~[/QUOTE] No, this way is much easier and cleaner. Depending on if your var is $categoryID or not, i'm unsure. [CODE] if($categoryid == 1){ ?> <td><div><img src="http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/icons/page_word.png"><font color="red"><? echo $title ?></font></div></td> <? }elseif($categoryid == 2){ ?> <div><img src="http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/icons/page_word.png"><font color="grey"><? echo $title ?></font></div></td> <? }else{ echo "Error"; } [/CODE] You see how nicer that is?

[code] <?php if($categoryid == 1): ?> <td><img src="http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/icons/page_word.png"/><span style="color:red"><?php echo $title ?></span></td> <?php elseif($categoryid == 2): ?> <td><img src="http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/icons/page_word.png"/><span style="color:grey"><?php echo $title ?></span></td> <?php else: ?> Error <?php endif; ?> [/code] or [code] <?php if($categoryid == 1 || $categoryid == 2): ?> <td><img src="http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/icons/page_word.png"/><span style="color:<?php echo ($categoryid == 1)? 'red' : 'grey'; ?>"><?php echo $title ?></span></td> <?php else: ?> Error <?php endif; ?> [/code] or [code] <?php $categories = array(1 => 'red', 2 => 'grey'); ?> <?php if(in_array($categoryid, array_keys($categories))): ?> <td><img src="http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/icons/page_word.png"/><span style="color:<?php echo $categories[$categoryid] ?>"><?php echo $title ?></span></td> <?php else: ?> Error <?php endif; ?> [/code]

Wow thanks for the replies guys , and really forgive me about my weird spelling i'll try ! and edit back. I add the [code] <?php if($categoryid == 1): ?> <td><img src="http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/icons/page_word.png"/><span style="color:red"><?php echo $title ?></span></td> <?php elseif($categoryid == 2): ?> <td><img src="http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/icons/page_word.png"/><span style="color:grey"><?php echo $title ?></span></td> <?php else: ?> Error <?php endif; ?> [/code] and when i test it the news looks like this: [HR][/HR] [IMG]http://gyazo.com/d56c9402e830ac66283918ccdbc41aed.png[/IMG] They normally look like this: [IMG]http://gyazo.com/24645bbb04385313c26d9259b665cd29.png[/IMG] [HR][/HR] BTW Doesn't affect the way you guys call it categoryid since the way of show-up is {category-id} ? After testing the code i go back to the code and the <?php if($categoryid == 1): ?> become [B]<?php if(== 1): ?>[/B] [editline]16th December 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Haskell;43198845]No, this way is much easier and cleaner.

if you can't find the PHP variable {category-id} is coming from, then you have to use javascript. it would be something like [php]<script> var categoryid = "{category-id}"; </script>[/php] and make an if statement based on that;
