PHP noob here: help on PHP function like in WP

Hi, I'm a PHP noob and I need help with a simple PHP function.

I need help how can I undisplay a certain text in PHP (when in homepage), just like this function in Wordpress

<?php if (!is_home()) {  ?>
The Text that hides when I am in homepage
<?php} ?>

PHP:

How can I do the same if I'm only into plain PHP? no CMS...

I hope PHP gurus here got my point

 

here on the fly i can tell you to declare a variable $home where it will be filled with your text to be undisplayed

 

<?php
function is_home(){
//Change index.php to the path to your homepage.
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == /index.php){
$home = 1;
} else {
$home = 0;
}
return $home;
}

?>

That should work. To call upon it, you would have to use something like this:

<?php
$home = is_home();
if ($home = 1){
//You're on the home page. Display what you want below.
}
?>

Good?

 

this is exactly what I'm trying to do! Thanks master! yay!!!
