I have created a static block in magento in which i have inserted the following code in order to get the phone number information

{{config path="general/store_information/phone"}}

I am also echoing that static block in header.phtml but i am facing a problem. I want the phone number of my store to be displayed in the left side of the header in the homepage and in the categories page i want it to be displayed in the right sider of the header. The reason i want that is because some elements move around when the customer goes from the homepage to categories page. Is this possible?

Do as below for homepage:

if($this->getIsHomePage())
{
  your code 
}

Do as below for category page:

if (Mage::registry('current_category'))
{
  // your code
}

paste your {{config path="general/store_information/phone"}} in desired area and check.

Also you could use css for that purpose.

    for homepage, we have cms-index-index class and for category we have catalog-category-view class which is unique. based on this, we need to style. again, its completely depend on the template you are using. float right and left properties can be used.
