Wordpress plug in php issues - php

Question

I'd like to preface that I am not too fluent in php so i'm trying to understand and build php as i go.
I am attempting to add a custom Slidedeck slider to my website, http://cfsb.org/ . I currently have one in the header, but would like to change it on a per page basis.
I currently have:
function slidedecktwo_header_home() {
if (is_home()) {
echo do_shortcode('[SlideDeck2 id=xxx]');
}
}
add_action('genesis_header', 'slidedecktwo_header_home');
But when i try to add something like
else if (is_page(PAGE_ID = x)) {
echo do_shortcode('[SlideDeck2 id=xxx');
}
My webpage crashes and I have to delete the code before my website returns. Anyone see some obvious problems?
Thanks in advance.

Not sure if what you posted is the actual PHP you tried, but there are definite syntax errors.
Your code should look more like this (I added a random ID passed as an integer to the is_page() function):
function slidedecktwo_header_home() {
if ( is_home() ) {
echo do_shortcode('[SlideDeck2 id=xxx]');
} elseif ( is_page(42) ) {
echo do_shortcode('[SlideDeck2 id=xxx]');
}
}
add_action('genesis_header', 'slidedecktwo_header_home');
In your snippet, you had is_page( PAGE_ID = x ) and your shortcode snippet wasn't closed with a closing bracket ]
