Multiple IF conditions

Hi All,

Need some basic PHP help please!

I’m building a navigation menu that will display a different background image depending on which page is being viewed.

I’m trying to apply an ID to an unordered list and then with CSS, assign a different background for each <UL id=”name”>. I’m hoping that this condition can apply to sub-pages too.

I can get it to work for one page but when I try to introduce more IF statements, it all goes wrong!

Currently works for one page:

<ul<?php
if (is_page(About))
{
echo ” class=\”about\””;
}
?>>

Doesn’t work but is more like what I want to achieve:

<ul<?php

if ( is_page(‘home’) || $post->post_parent == ’65’ )
// the page is “Home”, or the parent of the page is “Home”
{
echo ” class=\”home\””;
}

} elseif ( is_page(‘about’) || $post->post_parent == ’47’ ) {
{
echo ” class=\”about\””;
}

} elseif ( is_page(‘news’) || $post->post_parent == ’26’ ) {
{
echo ” class=\”news\””;
}

} elseif ( is_page(‘contact’) || $post->post_parent == ’24’ ) {
{
echo ” class=\”contact\””;
}

} else {
{
echo ” class=\”home\””; } // just in case we are at an unclassified page, perhaps the home page
}
?>

I hope I explained this clearly and that someone can help.

Many thanks,
