   does anyone know how to write a shortcode to display a users content between tags, then echo that content later in a conditional?

   say someone enters this in the editor
   [sc1]this is shortcode 1 content[/sc1]
   [sc2]this is shortcode 2 content[/sc2]

   i then would need to write a conditional into my loop

   if ($function) {
   echo sc1;
   }else{
   echo sc2;
   }

   thanks @hiteshanjara... i think the shortcode is the easy part, unless id have to write a conditional shortcode to make this work. then im lost.

   Right now i have this.

   function sc1( $atts, $content=null) {
   return do_shortcode($content); }
   add_shortcode( 'sc1', 'sc1' );
   
   function sc2( $atts, $content=null) {
   return do_shortcode($content); }
   add_shortcode( 'sc2', 'sc2' );

   im now looking for how to echo the content into a conditional
   i tried the following in various ways, it didnt work.

   if ($function) {
   echo do_shortcode('[sc1]' . $content . '[/sc1]');
   }else{
   echo do_shortcode('[sc2]' . $content . '[/sc2]');
   }
