Conditional Formatting in header.php file

[ReginaStelling]

Hi!

I want to put some code in the header.php to do some conditional formatting based on Category.

 

Is that possible...

 

How can I do this:

 

IF Category = "Ice Cream"

then A

IF Category = "Chili"

then B

IF Category = "Coffee"

then C

Else

D

 

I know a little php...but not sure how to check the category. Is that a URL string I should check??

 

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Would something like this work? Cases to be filled according to your shop of course.

<?php
if (isset($_GET['cPath']) { // if category = cPath is not in the URL, no reason to go further
switch ($_GET['cPath']) {
case "1_7":
print ("<h1>A. This is for Ice Cream</h1>\n");
break;
case "2" :
print ("<h1>B. This is for Chili</h1>\n");
break;
case "4_21" :
print ("<h1>C. This is for Coffee</h1>\n");
break;
default:
print ("<h1>D. None of the above</h1>\n");
} // end switch
} // end if (isset(category) )
?>
