# PHP help? Probably easy

 * Howdy…. I have a special banner that appear on all post pages. It’s hard coded
   into the single.php page. However, I’ve no realized that once in a while I don’t
   want that banner to show. So I want to add some php around it so it doesn’t show
   up if the post is tagged with certain tags, let’s say “apples” and “bananas”.
 * Anyone know the PHP to do this?
 * ie:
 * <if tag does not = apples or bananas >
    show this stuff <end if>
 * Thanks!

 * You want to use the is_tag function. [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_tag](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_tag)
 * if ( !is_tag( array( ‘apple’, ‘banana’ ) ); ) {
    // show banner }
 * That should do it. Not 100% sure that !is_tag will work properly. If not, you’ll
   have to remove the ! and just list all tags the banner should show on.
 * if ( is_tag( array( ‘grape’, ‘orange’ ) ); ) {
    // show banner }

 * brilliant, thanks. But what’s the exact code including ?php I need to use HTML
   inside it? I’m thinking something like this?
 * <?php if ( !is_tag( array( ‘apple’, ‘banana’ ) ); ) { ?>
 * Bunch of stuff goes here
 * <?php } ?>
 * That seems to nuke my page, so something wrong!

 * Oh, there is an extra ; in there that shouldn’t be.
 *     ```
       <?php if ( !is_tag( array( 'apple', 'banana' ) ) ) { ?>
   
       Bunch of stuff goes here
   
       <?php } ?>

 * ah!
 * Well, no error now, but I’m afraid it didn’t work. I pased it verbatim as above
   and tagged a few posts “apples” and a few “bananas” and a few both and the “Bunch
   of stuff” still shows regardless…

 * I was worried that the !is_tag may not work. Try:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( is_tag( array( 'grape', 'orange' ) ) ) { ?>
   
       Bunch of stuff goes here
   
       <?php } ?>
       ```
   
 * I’ll try it too.

 * has_tag not is_tag 🙂
 *     ```
       <?php if ( !has_tag( array( 'apple', 'grape' ) ) ) { ?>
         This post is NOT tagged apple or grape.
       <?php } ?>
   
       <?php if ( has_tag( array( 'apple', 'grape' ) ) ) { ?>
         This post IS tagged apple or grape.
       <?php } ?>
       ```
