Ok i'm pretty new to the whole coding business and i'm trying to figure out what i'm doing wrong, basically what i'd like to do is create a check for the post ID that determines whether the post ID is odd or even and output two different things depending on the outcome, for example i want the Post layout to have the postbit information on the left if the post ID is odd and the postbit info on the right if its even.

Heres what i mean:

If post ID = even

User info | Post

If post = odd

Post | Userinfo

heres the code i've been working on so far and i do appologise for the exceedingly appalling use of code, can someone walk me through what i've done wrong and explain to me how i should go about it? i'd really appreciate it as i want to learn. I've been using W3 schools as a reference.

// Function to determine odd or even
function is_odd( $int )
{
  return( $int & 1 );
}


<vb:if( is_odd($postid) )>
