Some different techniques for if statements in php. In the second example note the use of forward slashes used to escape the quotations inside the echo function.

php if statement (xhtml only)

<?php if (is_page('writing')): ?>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer 
adipiscing elit. Aenean magna tortor, luctus 
sit amet, nonummy non, consequat ac, augue. 
Cras quis lacus et est pretium dignissim. In ut 
velit vel erat accumsan vestibulum. Sed a felis. 
Nam dictum nisl id sem. Praesent pretium 
enim quis dolor.</p><?php endif; ?>

php if statement (echo function)

<?php if (is_page('writing'))
echo "<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer 
adipiscing elit. Aenean \"magna tortor\", 
luctus sit amet, nonummy non, consequat ac, 
augue. Cras quis lacus et est pretium dignissim. 
In ut velit vel erat accumsan vestibulum. Sed a 
felis. Nam dictum nisl id sem. Praesent pretium 
enim quis dolor.</p>"; ?>
