Yes, that is what I was thinking. Thank you, I've done it how you suggested and it seems to work fine. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me, it's hard for me to fully express my gratitude through the medium of forum.

Yes that has worked. Thank you very much! Would you be so kind as to explain what that is doing exactly? And is the way I've done it sensible in terms of duplicating the same code in the if and else with the only difference being the Div before the footer in the else? I have a feeling there might be a better way of doing it but being a novice I don't know what that is. Something like if page doesn't = default.php display the Div. Any ideas?

Hello I'm hoping someone here can help me with this. I know very little PHP I'm afraid but I think what I want to do is fairly basic and should be relatively simple. I have a footer which is referenced on each page of the site with <?php include($DOCUMENT_ROOT."/includes/php/footer.php"); ?> Within the footer I want it so that if it's the home page (default.php) it displays just the footer but for any other page I want it to display a Div and then the footer. Here is what I have so far but it isn't working: <?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == "default.php") { ?> <!--Home Page Footer--> <div class="footer"> <div class="footer1"> </div> <div class="footer2"> </div> <div class="footer3"> </div> <div class="footerLinks"> <?php include($DOCUMENT_ROOT."/includes/php/bottomlinks.php"); ?> </div> <div class="footer4"> </div> </div> <?php } else { ?> <!--Blue Footer Image--> <div class="footer2"> </div> <!--Footer--> <div class="footer"> <div class="footer1"> </div> <div class="footer2"> </div> <div class="footer3"> </div> <div class="footerLinks"> <?php include($DOCUMENT_ROOT."/includes/php/bottomlinks.php"); ?> </div> <div class="footer4"> </div> </div> <?php } ?> I don't know that the request uri address is correct but when I've tried to use 'echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']' to find out what it should be I can't get that to work either. I'm new here, this is my first post. Sorry if it's too basic or I've made a forum faux pas. Any help would be extremely appreciated.
