Conditional statement on category.php

[amidigital]

I would like to show something only if on specific category or subcategory page.

Example, PGA is cat ID 2:
http://www.mysite.com/category/PGA/
http://www.mysite.com/category/PGA/swingers

These attempts don’t work…

<?php global $post;
if ($post->post_parent == 2) {
echo “test”;
} ?>

<?php if (in_category(‘CFB’)) : ?>
test
<?php endif; ?>

if ( get_query_var('CAT-SLUG') ) {
  // do stuff here
}

Not working :(

<?php if ( get_query_var('pga') ) {
  echo "test"; 
} 
?>

Sorry was on my mobile when I replied to this last time. This is the correct code, if you’re on category.php template.

$category = single_cat_title('', false);
if ( $category == 'test' ) {
  echo 'on test category';
}

That works, but I would like the child category to apply as well.
Tried a number of things like this, doesn’t work…

<?php $category = single_cat_title('', false);
          $parentcategory = get_category_parents('', false);

if ( $category == 'pga' || $parentcategory == 'pga') {
  echo 'pga cat';
}
?>
