 * I want certain pages to have a certain image, the rest of the pages to have a
   default image if its not those certain pages.
 * This is what I have so far, but obviously is massively incorrect as it doesn’t
   work, just breaks my site!
 *     ```
       <div id="wrapper">
       <div id="rightCol">
       <?php
       if (is_page('3,4,6,10,7,8'())include("images/header_home.jpg" alt="title here");  {
   
       } else include("images/header_img.jpg" alt="title here");) {
   
       }
       ?>
       <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
       		<h1><?php if (is_frontpage())echo"Accelerated Instrument Ratings<br />& Safety Pilot Services"; else the_title(); ?></h1>
       				<?php the_content(); ?>
       		<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
       </div><!-- end rightCol -->
       ```

 * First, is_page() can only accept one ID/title at a time. A comma-delimited list
   will not work.
 * Second, include() cannot be used in this way. You want to display the image in
   your HTML (i.e. <img src=…), not include it like it’s a PHP script.
 * Here’s a method that avoids numerous is_page() tests in your if statement:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $pages_home = array(3,4,6,10,7,8); // 'home' Page ID array
   
       global $post;
       if( in_array($post->ID, $pages_home) ) {
       	$img = 'header_home.jpg';
       	$alt = 'title here';
       } else {
       	$img = 'header_img.jpg';
       	$alt = 'title here';
       }
       ?>
       <img src="images/<?php echo $img; ?>" alt="<?php echo $alt; ?>" />
       ```
   
 * For a strictly WordPress Way, use the following:
 *     ```
       <?php
       if( is_page(3) || is_page(4) || is_page(6) || is_page(10) || is_page(7) || is_page(8) ) {
       	$img = 'header_home.jpg';
       	$alt = 'title here';
       } else {
       	$img = 'header_img.jpg';
       	$alt = 'title here';
       }
       ?>
       <img src="images/<?php echo $img; ?>" alt="<?php echo $alt; ?>" />
       ```

 * ok, tried it, and it works splendidly!
 * **Can I bother you for one more favor**, lets say I want to add more if to it.
   such as. If is home, use this image, if is page 4 use this image, if is page 
   7 use this image, if is anything else, use this default image… in other words,
   to add more ifs to it. **What do I need to add to do that part?**
 * You’re a help! Thanks!
