 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to change the header image based on the Archive category.
 * I tried
 *  <?php if(strstr($category,’34’)) : ?>
 *  <img src=’[http://jchmusic.com/frametop-newsflash.gif&#8217](http://jchmusic.com/frametop-newsflash.gif&#8217);
   alt=’page header’/>
    <?php else : ?> <img src=”[http://jchmusic.com/frametop-weblog.gif&#8221](http://jchmusic.com/frametop-weblog.gif&#8221);
   alt=”page header”/> <?php endif; ?>
 * …which did nothing. So how does one capture the id or the name of the current
   category of the archive?
 * TIA,
 * —JC
