Help with code please

I am trying to place an image in the header depending upon which category is current. That part I have.

But I need a default image or no image at all to display if no category is current.

What happens now is I get an image placeholder if no category is current.

I've tried it two ways

	<?php 
$imagetop = DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'no_category.gif';
if (isset($current_category_id)){

  $imagetop = tep_db_query("select categories_image from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " where categories_id = '" . (int)$current_category_id . "'");
  $imagetop = tep_db_fetch_array($imagetop);
  $imagetop = $image1['categories_image'];
  } 
   ?>

<td><?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $imagetop); ?></td>

 

and this

	<?php 

if (isset($current_category_id)){

  $imagetop = tep_db_query("select categories_image from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " where categories_id = '" . (int)$current_category_id . "'");
  $imagetop = tep_db_fetch_array($imagetop);
  $imagetop = $image1['categories_image'];
  } 
   ?>

<td  background="../images/no_category.gif"><?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $imagetop); ?></td>

The second one will at least show the no-category.gif and the category image will be placed over it when one is current; however there is still a placeholder if no category is current.

I've tried a couple of "else" statements but either get syntax error on the same results.

 

any help is appreciated.
