Contingent Header Category Label - php

Question

Right now the header has a bit of code in it that queries the section name and then uses that section name as the h1 title in the page. It works fine. However, I want to selectively break that operation in certain categories and give myself the ability to manually enter the h1 title for a given section. Here's what I'm struggling with: how can I maintain the automatic query and title selection in most instances, but selectively break it in a given category (the 'blog' category, for starters)?
Thanks for taking a look, I appreciate your help!
Here's the code that drives the existing function (it's the get_the_section_name part):
<?php if(!is_home()){?>
<div class="section <?php echo get_the_section_name();?>">
<?php
$sectitle = get_the_section_name();
$sectitle = str_ireplace("-"," ",$sectitle);
echo '<h1>' . $sectitle . '</h1>';?>
<p class="breadcrumbs">
<?php
if(function_exists('bcn_display'))
{
bcn_display();
}
?>
</p>
</div>
<div class="columns">
<?php } ?>
Here's a page that shows what it looks like displayed (see the title in the blue graphic underneath the main nav near the top of the page): http://69.20.59.228/category/blog/

Answer 1

Insert following code before line
echo '<h1>' . $sectitle . '</h1>';?>
Simply add more elements to $special_categories array
$special_categories = array(
"blog" => "Special blog title",
"other category" => "Another special category title",
);
if (array_key_exists($sectitle, $special_categories)) {
$sectitle = $special_categories[$sectitle];
}
