[thelist] Simple IF THEN in PHP

[Christian Anderson]

Hi Everyone,
 
I do all my work in ASP, but now have to add a little bit of flavor to a bit
of PHP.
 
Basically, I want to do an IF THEN that would work like this in ASP.
 
<%
 
somecounter = 1
 
DO while whatever... <-- the blog is taking care of this stuff -->
 
if somecounter = 1 then
response.write("hello world")
somecounter = somecounter + 1
else
end if
 
LOOP <-- again the blog software is taking care of this -->
 
%>
 
Basically I want to put some code only on the first post of a blog posting.
So basically on post 1 it will put in the "hello world" thing, and then for
any other posts that appear on that page it wont show anything.
 
I'm sure its not hard, but I haven't used PHP before so don't know how it
works exactly.
 
Thanks!
