Basic PHP help needed

Hi. I am using wordpress 2.6.
I have a couple of conditions in stating which content is displayed depending on what article the user is. I have no PHP knowledge.
Below is the code:

<?php
if ( is_single('179') ) {
} elseif (is_single('254')) {
} elseif (is_single('130')) {
} elseif (is_single('95')) {
} elseif (is_single('35')) {
} elseif (is_single('27')) {
} elseif (is_single('419')) {
} elseif (is_single('226')) {
} elseif (is_single('381')) {
} elseif (is_single('349')) {
} elseif (is_front_page()) {
} elseif (is_single('254')) {
} else {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/file1.php');
}
?>

Code (markup):

There must be some way I can clean the above code so that only one is_single statement remains. I tried but couldn't get it to work. If somebody can fix this, it would be great. Thanks.

 

if (is_front_page()) {
} elseif (is_single(array(254,179,130,95,35,27,419,226,381,381,349))) {
} else {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/file1.php');
}

Code (markup):

Or you could do the is_single based on the _GET of the id of the post and then do a test on the ID if valid.

 

Yup. That worked! Thanks a lot!

But, as I stated earlier, I dont know php so I am not sure what you said about the get and such...
