   Hi guys,

   I do not have a php background, but have been working through some custom functions on a new blog. Today I ran into a stumbling block I can't seem to overcome. I'm hoping someone here might offer some advice. Here is my goal.

   On category pages, I want to display a list of the categories that reside below that category in the hierarchy. Also on the child category pages I want to display a list of the same child categories. I am thinking about it like this:

   if is category(x) or is child of category(x) then display children of category(x)

   Essentially, I always want to display the child categories, even when I'm on one of them.

   I really appreciate any advice.

   Here is what I have cobbled together so far:

   <?php
   if ( is_category() ) {
     $cat = get_query_var('cat');
     $args = array(
       'include' => $cat,
   	  'hide_empty' => 0
   	  );
     $categories = get_categories($args);
     if ( ($cat == 112) || ($categories[0]->category_parent == 112) ) {
   <?php wp_list_categories('child_of=112&title_li=') ?>
     }
   }
   ?>

   This works when I output echo 'test'; , but breaks when calling the category list. Any thoughts.
