   I need a little help!

   I'm fully aware that this might be the noobyish noob problem ever, but my PHP skills are very rudimentary.

   What I want to do is to set up a condition where the beginning of an entry would return one of three results:

   1) A video
   2) If no video is set, a thumbnail
   3) If no thumbnail is set, nothing

   The video is embedded via a plug in.

   Here's what I have:

   <div class="entry">
   
   <?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, "_videoembed", true) || get_post_meta($post->ID, "_videoembed_manual", true) ): ?>
           <div class="video">
               <?php echo p75GetVideo($post->ID); ?>
           </div>
           <?php endif; ?>
   <?php
   if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
   	<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><img class="postimg" src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/timthumb.php?src=<?php get_image_url(); ?>&h=200&w=490&zc=1" alt=""/></a>
   <?php } else { ?>
   	<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><img class="postimg" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/dummy.png" alt="" /></a>
   <?php } ?>
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   <div class="clear"></div>
   </div>

   What am I doing wrong? I know it has something to do with if/else commands, but I'm lost as to what to do next.

   Many, many thanks in advance!

   Hi,

   Try this

   <div class="entry">
   
   <?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, "_videoembed", true) || get_post_meta($post->ID, "_videoembed_manual", true) ) { ?>
           <div class="video">
               <?php echo p75GetVideo($post->ID); ?>
           </div>
   <?php } else if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?>
   			<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><img class="postimg" src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/timthumb.php?src=<?php get_image_url(); ?>&h=200&w=490&zc=1" alt=""/></a>
   <?php } else { ?>
   			<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><img class="postimg" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/dummy.png" alt="" /></a>
   <?php } ?>
   
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   
   <div class="clear"></div>
   </div>

   It worked like a charm! So basically, <?php } else if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) { ?> was the way to go. But I thought I needed an <?php endif; ?> to hold it all together.

   I just learned something! Thanks so much, hiteshanjara!
