I would like to know if it's possible to add a php if statement inside the page.tpl file that will let you use the same .tpl file for both a 2 and 3 column layout, depending on whether you have (for instance) a right block. If a right block is there, then it prints a span-12, if not, then a span-18.

IF
if ($right):
THEN
<div class="col-content span-12"> (a middle column for content in a 3 c layout)
ELSE
<div class="col-content span-18"> (a bigger left column for content in a 2 c layout)

Is this doable?

Thanks.

The blueprint theme already does this automatically. Take a look inside the template.php the function is phptemplate_preprocess_page().
Editing the 'classes variables' should affect the layout using only one page.tpl. The comments indicate the layout type.

That's correct, in the current version, the size only needs to be changed in the template.php file.
