if dev site then echo code but if live site then echo code ?!!? help

[foevah]

Hi I am not sure how to explain this but let me type it in steps to help you understand what I want to achieve:

 

if website = test area domain http://dev-site.com then echo { no google analytics }

or else {

if website = live domain echo http://live-site.com then echo { google analytics }

 

if only code what that easy! hehe..

 

If anyone understands the above then please can someone show me how to do this? I think this will be useful and I want to know if it is possible?

if only code what that easy!

 

It is when you know what variables are available.

 

if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'http://dev-site.com') {
  echo "no google analytics";
else if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'http://live-site.com') {
  echo "google analytics";
}

or simply,

 

if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'http://live-site.com') {
  echo "google analytics";
}

 

[foevah]

does that cover all pages on that domain like http://live-site.com/contact.php ?

[Garethp]

Yes. Try the code before asking if it works

[foevah]

i am getting this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in C:\websites\devsite\footer.php on line 26

 

i am using thorpe's example:

 

if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'http://dev.local/') {

  echo "no google analytics";

else if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'http://live-site.com/') {

  echo "<script type="text/javascript" src="js/ga.js"></script>";

}

 

 

 

[Garethp]

You missed an } after your if

[foevah]

ok I found a missing curly bracket but the ga.js doesnt show in the source?

 

if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'http://dev.local/') {

  echo "no google analytics";

}

else if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'http://www.live-site.com') {

  echo "<script type='text/javascript' src='js/ga.js'></script>";

}

[Garethp]

What's the output of this code?

 

if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'http://dev.local/') {
  echo "no google analytics";
}
else if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'http://www.live-site.com') {
  echo "<script type='text/javascript' src='js/ga.js'></script>";
}
else
{
echo $__SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
}

[foevah]

still nothing?

 

does the live-site.com have to be on a live server because i am still testing it locally.. This is how mine looks:

 

if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'http://dev.local/') {

  echo "no google analytics";

}

else if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'http://testsite.local/') {

  echo "<script type='text/javascript' src='js/ga.js'></script>";

}

else

{

echo $__SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];

}

[Garethp]

I'm not entirely sure, but unless your using http://dev.local/ it should be outputting something

[foevah]

ya I am using dev.local.. I have put dev.local in both if statements and still nothing ??

 

if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'http://dev.local/') {

  echo "no google analytics";

}

else if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'http://dev.local/') {

  echo "<script type='text/javascript' src='js/ga.js'></script>";

}

else

{

echo $__SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];

}

[scvinodkumar]

ok can you tell what will be output for this line,

 

echo $__SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];

 

just add this line within the php tags and run the file

 

 

 

[thebadbad]

Yeah, show us your output of

 

<?php
echo $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
?>

Garethp's code had two underscores in the variable name.

[foevah]

this is wrong:

echo $__SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];

 

it is:

echo $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];

 

the result is:

dev.local

[scvinodkumar]

thanks, then use this code and check it

 

if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'dev.local') {
  echo "no google analytics";
}
else if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'testsite.local') {
  echo "<script type='text/javascript' src='js/ga.js'></script>";
}
else
{
echo $__SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
}

 

[thebadbad]

Okay, then the code should look like this:

 

<?php
if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'dev.local') {
echo 'no google analytics';
} else if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] == 'testsite.local') {
echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="js/ga.js"></script>';
}
?>

And scvinodkumar, it should still be $_SERVER, not $__SERVER

[foevah]

ah cool thebadbad! thanks everyone for helping me..

 

does anyone else here use this technique? It only struck me today that I should try and do something like this because it is irritating deleting and adding this kind of stuff.

 

Another situation where I will try and use this is for the meta data noindex nofollow. It is always a pain switching between nofollow and follow!!
