Whats wrong with my code?

Question

I'm getting this error: "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'if' (TIF)" on this code:
function arraycategory($catalog,$category) {
  $output = array();
  foreach ($catalog as $id => $item) {
      if ($category == null OR if strtolower($category) == strtolower($item["category"])) {
          $sort = $item["title"];
          $sort = ltrim($sort, "The ");
          $sort = ltrim($sort, "A ");
          $sort = ltrim($sort, "An ");
          $output[$id] = $sort;
      }
  }
  asort($output);
  return array_keys($output);
}
I have reviewed the video and it seems I have followed everything perfectly...so whats wrong?

You have an "if" keyword inside of the conditional statement of another if statement:
php
 if ($category == null OR if strtolower($category) == strtolower($item["category"]))

php
if($category == null OR strtolower($category) == strtolower($item["category"]))

Omitting it should be enough.
I hope that helps you a little bit.
