Wordpress Conditional Statement

Hey Experts!!

I'm trying to incorporate some primitive functionality on my WordPress blog. Basically I want to show a certain image based on the 2nd cat_ID in the $category array. Problem is, it's not working.
I can echo the ID I need, but my else/if isn't doing what I think it should be doing.

Any help is appreciated!

<?php 
				if($category[1]->cat_ID == '1116') //skis.com
					echo ('<a href="http://mydomain.com/">
							<img src="http://content-1.s3.amazonaws.com/images/skis/tag-cloud.jpg" alt="Save On Packages" title="Save On Packages"  width="250px"/>
						</a>');
				elseif($category[1]->cat_ID == '1452'); //snowboards.net
					echo ('Snowboards.net');			
			?>

Open in new window

//This is my echo and it prints out fine.
$category = get_the_category(); 
echo $category[1]->cat_ID;

try this code:

if($category[1]->cat_ID == '1116')
{
    echo ('<a href="http://mydomain.com/"><img src="http://content-1.s3.amazonaws.com/images/skis/tag-cloud.jpg" alt="Save On Packages" title="Save On Packages"  width="250px"/></a>');

}else if($category[1]->cat_ID == '1452'){

    echo ('Snowboards.net');

}

@gtagliani: I'm not even getting the image now on the first category.

im sorry u must have the "$category = get_the_category();" before the code.

$category = get_the_category();

if($category[1]->cat_ID == '1116')
{
    echo ('<a href="http://mydomain.com/"><img src="http://content-1.s3.amazonaws.com/images/skis/tag-cloud.jpg" alt="Save On Packages" title="Save On Packages"  width="250px"/></a>');

}else if($category[1]->cat_ID == '1452'){

    echo ('Snowboards.net');

}

is this code on your sidebar.php? wp version?

I do, however it's separate from the rest of this PHP code. I have it in it's own block.

Tried the above with no love.

Yep, sidebar.php and WP version 2.8
