[RESOLVED] Need to alter a small piece of code to check for Categories in Joomla

tomkilbourn

Hello I have a piece of code in my frontpage/default_item.php file which enables the category called 'Movies' to be given extra divs for CSS rounded corners.

The code works fine and is as follows -

<?php if($this->item->category == "Movies") { ?>
    <div><div><div>
<?php } ?>

I would now like to add a second category to use rounded corners as well. The category will be called "Football".

What do I need to add so the code to checks for more than one category e.g. both "Movies" & "Football"? I tried changing the code to the code below, but I get an error message
Quote:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',' in....

<?php if($this->item->category == "Movies", "Football") { ?>
    <div><div><div>
<?php } ?>

Many thanks

Tom

|| = OR

if category==Movies or category==Football

<?php if($this->item->category == "Movies" || $this->item->category == "Football") { ?>

Hey Tom,

Actually whenever we need to use if statement for more than one condition in that case we need to check both condition seperate using AND(&&) or OR(||)
so use this
if($this->item->category == "Movies" || $this->item->category == "Football")
