   I have a loop that shows an array of posts from multiple post_types.

   I simply want a check to say 'if_post_type == "photogallery" ( do stuff) else (continue)

   This would allow me to style the photogallery posts within the loop different from the regular and other post_types inside the loop.

   This function does not work, but I can't find a replacement function that allows this logic.

   Can someone point me in the right direction?

   thank you

   What you you need is is_singular():

   if (is_singular('photogallery')) {
       # Do some stuff.
   } else {
       # Do some other stuff.
   }

   If you're inside the loop and want to know about a specific post, then you'll want to look at get_post_type(). is_singular() refers to the loop as a whole.

   Ouch. Apologies for the misinformation. Andrew Nacin is correct.

   So, the correct example would be:

   if (get_post_type() == 'photogallery') {
       # Do some stuff.
   } else {
       # Do some other stuff.
   }
