IF statement - syntax issue ?

Hi all,

I'm having issues with the following IF statement in MySQL 5.5.9 - it's telling me there is an error in the syntax. I want to execute this every minute as a scheduled event procedure (although that's not really relevant to the syntax issue).

What am I doing wrong here ?

if ( dayname(now()) = "Monday" or dayname(now()) = "Tuesday" or dayname(now()) = "Wednesday" or dayname(now()) = "Thursday" or dayname(now()) = "Friday" ) and time_format(current_time(),'%H:%i') ='07:30'
then
select dayname(now()),time_format(current_time(),'%H:%i');

update jos_menu set published=0, home=0 where alias ='india';
update jos_menu set published=0, home=0 where alias ='home';
update jos_menu set published=0, home=0 where alias ='emea';
update jos_menu set published=1, home=1 where alias ='limbo';
update jos_menu set published=0, home=0 where alias ='sunday';
end if;

Many Thanks
