    It should work and display header as per category without any error.

    Check your category IDs in your database. if (is_category('1') is for the category with ID 1, etc or else replace ('1') with the category name as in if (is_category('My Category')

    The problem is your markup. You don't need to throw in the extra <?php?> tags.

    This should work:

    <?php

/**** Conditional Header for Per Category Example Wordpress ****/

// make sure we are in category listing
if (is_category()) {
  if (is_category('1')) {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/header-cat1.php');
  } elseif (is_category('2')) {
    include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/header-cat2.php');
  } else {
  // this is the deafult header
    include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/headerdefault.php');
  }
}

?>
    Code (markup):
