PHP Conditional Statement Help

Hello,

I need help in PHP conditional statement. I am not PHP programmer. I have a site which is coded in PHP. Footer of the site is common for all the 200+ pages. To call footer in page below code has been used....

<? 
include('footer.php'); 
?>

Code (markup):

Now, what i want is different link on different pages. For example....

if url is http://website.com/buy_short_jeans.php then link in footer should be a link like <a href="http://website.com/buy_short_jeans.php">Buy Short Jeans</a>

What i have figured out is if-elseif can be used for that. See below code...

<?php
$url;

if ($url == "http://website.com/buy_short_jeans.php") { 
php coding that makes hyperlink
}
elseif ($url == "http://website.com/buy_short_skirts.php") {
php coding that makes hyperlink
} 

else {
hyperlink for main domain
}
?>

Code (markup):

can you plz help me to finish doing that???

 

Well firstly, that variable $url is doing nothing. If this were me, I'd use something unique to the page from the database to perform this - that way, you type the code in once and it works for every page like a set tag or even the url itself.

But if I'm understanding you right,

Put this:

$url = http://website.com/buy_short_jeans.php

in the body of your page and then:

echo $url in the footer include.

The variable is defined in the page and the footer will read the variable from the page when it's browsed.

I haven't tested this, but in theory it should work.

 

Tested this and it works. I've also developed it a little for you:

Page 1
Page 2
Footer

Page 1:

$url = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$title = 'page 1';

include('footer.php');

Code (markup):

Page 2:

$url = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$title = 'page 2';

include('footer.php');

Code (markup):

Footer:

echo '<a href="'.$url.'">'.$title.'</a>';

Code (markup):

If you browse Page 1, the link will read Page 1 and link to page 1, if on page 2 it will read page 2 and link to page 2.

And mostly automated too. Enjoy.

 

I did that in this way....

<a href="<? $url = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];

$file = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

echo "http://".$url.$file;

?>

 " title="
 
 <?
 if ( $url.$file == "www.website.com")
 {
 
 echo "Buy short jeans skirts from website.com";
 
 }
 elseif ( $url.$file == "www.website.com/buy_short_jeans.php") {
    echo "Buy short jeans online";
}
elseif ( $url.$file == "www.website.com/buy_short_skirts.php") {
    echo "Buy short skirts online";
}

else {
echo "Buy jeans";
}
 ?>
 
 ">

<?

if ($url.$file == "www.website.com/buy_short_jeans.php"){

echo "Buy Short Jeans";
}
 elseif ( $url.$file == "www.website.com/buy_short_skirts.php") {
    echo "Buy short skirts";
}
else {
echo "Buy short";
}
?>

Code (markup):

 

i included the code in footer.php

kjb: Thank for the help.


Is there a way to fetch title of the page?

 

You could fetch the contents of the current page using file_get_contents(), and then do a regular experession to get the text inside the <title> tags.

Or you could do something inside your header.php which just assigns the title to a variable $title or something, and then use it in your footer.
