   Hi everyone,

   I'm trying to have a bit of custom text (from a custom field) display, and if a page doesn't have that custom field, than have a default/standby bit of text appear. Here is the code I'm using, and I'm receiving a "unexpected T_ENDIF" syntax error. I'm a true beginner in PHP, so if it's something obviously wrong (which I'm sure it is), please be kind :)

   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <?php $pageHeader=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'pageHeader', true); ?>
       <?php if ( $pageHeader ) { ?>
   
       <!-- with custom page header -->
   	<?php echo $pageHeader; ?>
       <?php } else { ?>
   
       <!-- without custom page header -->
   	Sample code
       <?php endif; ?>
   
         <?php
   			if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
   			the_post_thumbnail();
   			}
   			?> 
   
   			<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
   			<?php the_content(); ?>
   
   		<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

   Any ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated.

   I discovered the problem.

   In case any other PHP beginners have the same question/problem, here's the fix.

   The <?php endif; ?> after the "without custom page header" section should be removed, and in its place, add:

   <?php } ?>
