I am trying to make a make it so that I can display banners based on the category name. It works fine except for the ones that have the word "and" in them. Here is an example of the code. Code in green will call fine, code in red will default to the <%else%> statement:



How can I make this call the code if they have the word "and" in them instead of reverting to the <%else%> statement. I am entering in the ' ' exactly as it displays when called from <%title%>, so I don't know of any other way to do this. Somebody PLEASE help me! I am going nuts with this!!!

If this is too confusing, I guess the simpler way to put it is, how can I make it not think of the "and" word as syntax, but instead as part of a phrase. It seems to be ignoring the ' that I put around the phrase. I have also tried using " with no luck. Also \'\ and \"\ without luck either.



I can understand what it is trying to do. It is trying to say that $title=1 and $title=2 must be true inorder to display what I want. But of course this can never be true, so it will resort to whatever is in the <%else%> statement. There must be a way to do this! It is driving me nuts!!!

This seems to be caused by the fact that the parser expects and's to be used in conditions and when it finds an "and" it splits on it...


..so it's screwing up your condition.

Without a hacking of that regex it's going to be hard to get around (unless I missed something).

Yep... that's the exact problem I am having! I think I have figured something out. I tried changing the "and" to "&" and that seems to work OK, so I am just renaming my categories as a work around.
