Easy Worpress PHP Question

[Garrett]

I am playing around with Adsense on one of my blogs, but there are a few posts in particular that I'd like to remove it completely.

In my single.php file, I am doing this and it works fine

<?php if(!is_single('1')) : ?>
//adsense code
<?php endif; ?>

but when I try to exclude more posts, it's not working

<?php if(!is_single('1') || !is_single('2')) : ?>
//adsense code
<?php endif; ?>

and this doesn't work either

<?php if(!is_single('1') && !is_single('2')) : ?>
//adsense code
<?php endif; ?>

What am I doing wrong? newbish question I know but I'm learning

Try an array.

Edit:

is_single(array(17, 19, 1, 11)) Returns true when the single post being displayed is either post ID 17, post ID 19, post ID 1, or post ID 11.

thanks!

after experimenting a bit, this code also works

<?php if(!is_single('1') && !is_single('2')) {?>
// adsense code
<?php }?>

In Wordpress what is the difference between

<?php if(!is_single('1')) : ?>
// adsense code
<?php endif; ?>

and this way with the curly braces?

<?php if(!is_single('1')) {?>
// adsense code
<?php }?>

Is one safer to use in most situations than the other?

I think the first one is 'wordpress syntax'.. i.e. for use within the loop.. the second one is just normal php. I would use the first... don't quote me on that though! Maybe somebody else can shed some light?

Basically you can use : and endif; instead of curly braces. It can make things a lot more readable.

Just in Wordpress?

No, it's PHP syntax.

WordPress doesn't use some special kind of PHP - it's just 150,000 lines of PHP put together to create a website.

WordPress - Ohloh

my code only seems to work WITH the curly braces. Like greyhat said, it probably is because its being used in the loop and (is_single) is a WP function

If the ' : ' and ' ; ' are part of PHP, they should work. Something must be worng. Post the code if you want....

Although either could work:

PHP: if - Manual

PHP: Alternative syntax for control structures - Manual

Make sure you're not mixing the different syntax within the same logic block. You need to use one or the other. I personally would just stick to the curly braces '{' and '}' and be done with it.

"Mixing syntaxes in the same control block is not supported."
This is the short version from the link above
