display a list/content on a specific blog article page using php

    I have got a blog main page and the actual blog articles pages that are stored in a database table and uses a main blog index.php page where all the blog articles are displayed and then the individual blog articles are displayed on a page called viewpost.php and it gets the relevant blog article from the database using id/postSlug so the urls are SEO friendly and not something like id=1 and so on.

    I am looking to display some content that uses HTML coding on a specific blog article using php

    I thought I could do something like the following but does not display anything

    
<?  if($row['postSlug'] == 'fake-antivirus-software-scam') { ?>
        <div class="article">
                <div class="text-center">
                    <div class="col-md-12">
                <h3 class="h-lg text-center">Areas <span class="color">We</span> Cover</span></h3>
                    </div>
               
                <div class="col-md-6">   
                <ul class="areaslist">
                <li class="areasitem"><a href="computer-repair-basildon"><span>Basildon</span></a></li>
                <li class="areasitem"><a href="computer-repair-services-pitsea"><span>Pitsea</span></a></li>

                </ul>
                </div>
                   
                    <div class="col-md-6">
                <ul class="areaslist">
                <li class="areasitem"><a href="computer-repair-langdon-hills"><span>Langdon Hills</span></a></li>
                <li class="areasitem"><a href="computer-repair-wickford"><span>Wickford</span></a></li>
                </ul>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        <?  } ?>
    Code (markup):
    I have tried the following as well but is not displaying nothing of what I want
    SEMrush 
    
<?php if ($postID=="24") echo '<div class="article">
                <div class="text-center">

    'fake-antivirus-software-scam' is the postSlug of the blog article so the url is www.it-doneright.co.uk/blog/fake-antivirus-software-scam

    I have just managed to solve it by using the following code

    
<?php if($row['postID'] == '24') echo '<div class="article">
                <div class="text-center">
                    <div class="col-md-12">
                <h3 class="h-lg text-center">Areas <span class="color">We</span> Cover</span></h3>
                    </div>
               
                <div class="col-md-6">   
                <ul class="areaslist">
                <li class="areasitem"><a href="computer-repair-basildon"><span>Basildon</span></a></li>

                    <div class="col-md-6">

if($row['postID'] == '24' || '27')
    Code (markup):

    Update: I have sorted the blank white page issue with the amended coding below but now I am unsure how to put multiple id's into the coding, for example I want the article appearing on postID 24 to also appear on postID 28

    
<?php if ($row['postID'] == "24") { ?>

<div class="article">
                <div class="text-center">

    I have managed to solve the multiple ids, I altered the code to be a array so now looks like the following and works perfect

    
<?php if (in_array($row['postID'], array(24, 28, 34))) { ?>

<div class="article">
                <div class="text-center">
                    <div class="col-md-12">
                <h3 class="h-lg text-center">Areas <span class="color">We</span> Cover</span></h3>
                    </div>
               
                <div class="col-md-6">   
                <ul class="areaslist">
                <li class="areasitem"><a href="../virus-removal-basildon"><span>Basildon</span></a></li>

                </div>
                   
                    <div class="col-md-6">
                <ul class="areaslist">
