# IF statement inside IF Statement?

 * Trying to perform an IF statement inside another IF statement… but unsure how
   to perform this.
 * I have an ad running after four post listings on the front page, but I’m trying
   to call different ad tags based on homepage, category or post pages.
 * Can anyone help?
 *     ```
       <?php if ($count == 3) : ?>
       <div class="content-ad">
   
       <?php if (is_home()) { ?>
       1st Ad Code
   
       <?php } elseif (is_category('Entertainment')) { ?>
       2nd Ad Code
   
       <?php } elseif (is_category('Lifestyle')) { ?>
       3rd Ad Code
   
       <?php } else { ?>
       4th Ad Code
       <?php } ?>
   
       </div>
       <?php endif; $count++; ?>
       ```

 * You probably want to make those different if statements into variables.
 * There’s a real cool thread on stack overflow on ways to do that.
 * Cheers

 * Thanks Jon, that post gives me a headache. I usually find examples of what I 
   need and mod it. I’ll look over it and figure it out.
 * MICHAEL, it just spits our error. Doesn’t work. Im using in INDEX.php

 * the code in itself is error free –
 * can you post the exact text of the error message, and post the full code of the
   index.php template?

 * Sorry guys. The code does work. I must have done something wrong the first time
   around.
 * Thanks for your help though.
