Hi there,

OK well I've run myself into a little bit of a problem. I am using includes for my header and footer files (using PHP).

Now the problem is that I want to echo (or display) certain information in the header based on the page they're visiting. So what I'd like to do is something like this:

IF the URL is home.php, echo (or display) THIS.
IF the URL is userhome.php, echo (or display) THIS.
IF the URL is recipes.php, echo (or display) THIS.

These "IF" statements are going to be in the header file, so that's why I need to know the URL or page link.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

try using the server variable $_SERVER['php_self']
this variable says the actual page that the script is running

any question more?

Thanks for the response. So how would I use it?

PHP Code:

$value = $_SERVER['php_self']

if ($value == "index.php"){
echo 'Is this how I use it?';
}

if ($value == "userhome.php"){
echo 'Like this?';
}

yeah
instead of using if use switch ... case.

tnx

<?php 
include ('header.php');
// list of your pages
$pages = array ("pagez" => "pagez.php", "pagez2" => "pagez2.php");

// page u wanna show
$page = (isset ($_GET["page"])) ? $_GET["page"] : "pagez";
?>
your menu is here? 
<?php
// //time to include the page we want//
if (isset ($pages[$page]))
@include ($pages[$page]);
else
echo "Page not found!";
?>

links -> mypage.com/index.php?page=pagez

this is how im using it
