Is there something wrong with this php if statement?

Question

Here is what I have included in the head of my WordPress site. However, it is producing a blank page. Is there something I might have overlooked?

<?php if (is_page('talent')) || (is_page('work')) { ?>
<script src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.pack.js"></script>
<?php } ?>

Yes. Your error log.

The answers of both @chaitanyaMutyala and @Poonam are both right, but neither is complete. You need both fixes. The parenthesis don't match in your if statement and you need to echo the url:

<?php if (is_page('talent') || (is_page('work')) { ?>
    <script src="<?php echo bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.pack.js"></script>
<?php } ?>

Poonam's answer seemed to work without using echo. Is using echo just a better way of writing it?

No, they are actually different. echo puts the result in html. Leaving it out puts nothing in the html. But I guess bloginfo() has the "echo" in it itself.

Breakets are mismatching

if (is_page('talent') || (is_page('work'))){

try replacing your if statement with the given

and echo is missing before bloginfo('template_url')

No need for an echo there for bloginfo. If you use get_bloginfo then you need to use the echo. Thanks

You can chek below code.

->if statement replace with this one:

if (is_page('talent') || (is_page('work')) {

-> src attribute in script tag replace with below one:

echo get_bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.pack.js
