[SOLVED] shouldnt the echo produce the results

[bigbenbuilders]

If my URL = this echo success... what I am trying to do with this script if the url is this then it will say this?

but it doesnt?

 

<?php if (stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],'/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=1&id=1&Itemid=2/') !== false) {echo '"selected"';} ?>

[bigbenbuilders]

say selected sorry

 

[mikesta707]

I'm not entirely sure what you are saying, but I'm assuming you want  to echo something if your URL is something.

 

why dont you do

 

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=1&id=1&Itemid=2') {
echo '"selected"';
}

 

??

 

[bigbenbuilders]

im trying to replace with this

 

<?php if (stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],'/id=1/') !== false) {echo 'class="alumni_tab_1_on_index"';} ?>

 

from this

 

<td width="105"><a href="index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=2&id=1&Itemid=37 " class="a_black text_10">

              <div class="tab_1" onMouseOver="this.className='tab_1_on_index'" onMouseOut="this.className='tab_1_index'">giving</div>

            </a></td>

[bigbenbuilders]

sorry this is like this

 

<td width="105"><a href="index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=2&id=1&Itemid=37 " class="a_black text_10">

              <div class="alumni_tab_1" onMouseOver="this.className='alumni_tab_1_on_index'" onMouseOut="this.className='alumni_tab_1_index'">giving</div>

            </a></td>

mikesta707 that does produce the words selected but how do I embed the other code into it?

[mikesta707]

well... just remove the backslashes and its fine...

 

<?php if (stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],'id=1') !== false) {echo 'class="alumni_tab_1_on_index"';} ?>

 

just tested on my server. went to: http://localhost/text.php?id=1&poop=3

 

and it echoed what it was supposed to. IDK why you had those backslashes in there

[bigbenbuilders]

its displaying this on the page

 

class="alumni_tab_1_on_index"

 

I want it to call the class from the css?

[mikesta707]

oh... where do you want to call this class. whereever you want to call it, echo that in the HTML. its not that hard..

 

like

<div class="<?php if (stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],'id=1') !== false) {echo 'class="alumni_tab_1_on_index"';} ?>">

 

 

[bigbenbuilders]

this is what I have with the full url in it and it is not working?

 

<div class="<?php if (stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],'http://cuaa.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=1&id=1&Itemid=2') !== false) {echo 'class="alumni_tab_1_index"';} ?>" onMouseOver="this.className='alumni_tab_1_on_index'" onMouseOut="this.className='alumni_tab_1_index'">alumni</div>

[mikesta707]

firstly, the Request URI var of the server array returns the local path, not the full path.

 

if (stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],'/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=1&id=1&Itemid=2') !== false)

but why are you using stripos... you should be just comparing them because it seems like you only want to do this when this exact URL is gone to...

 

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=1&id=1&Itemid=2'){

 

which is what i posted before...

[bigbenbuilders]

thanks for all your help mikesta707...it displays the word alumni and when I roll over it the tab pops up but it is not up like it is supposed to be at the begining like it is returning a false?  this is what I have

 

<div class="<?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=1&id=1&Itemid=2'){echo 'class="alumni_tab_1_index"';} ?>" onMouseOver="this.className='alumni_tab_1_on_index'" onMouseOut="this.className='alumni_tab_1_index'">alumni</div>

[mikesta707]

you are already writing class, so no need to write it twice

 

echo 'class="alumni_tab_1_index"'

 

should be

 

echo 'alumni_tab_1_index';

[bigbenbuilders]

mikesta777 that worked perfect...one more question if it does not equal the url then how do I have it default to another echo?

[mikesta707]

if (this){
//original stuff
}
else {
echo "default echo";
}

[bigbenbuilders]

dang I know I am close..now I get a blank page here is what I have

 

<div class="<?php if (this){ ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=1&id=1&Itemid=2'){echo 'alumni_tab_1_index';}}
else {
echo "default echo";
} ?>" onMouseOver="this.className='alumni_tab_1_on_index'" onMouseOut="this.className='alumni_tab_1_index'">alumni</div>

[mikesta707]

haha When i wrote if(this) i meant your original of statement, not to actually wrap what you had with if(this)

 

<div class="<?php if($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=1&id=1&Itemid=2') {echo 'alumni_tab_1_index';}
else {
echo "default echo";
} ?>" onMouseOver="this.className='alumni_tab_1_on_index'" onMouseOut="this.className='alumni_tab_1_index'">alumni</div>

[bigbenbuilders]

you da man you da man...

 

how do I get this in the echo because if false it would be tab1

 

onMouseOver="this.className='alumni_tab_1_on_index'" onMouseOut="this.className='alumni_tab_1_index'"

[mikesta707]

i dont quite understand, you want those to be tab1 when the same if statement above runs true. just put the ifstatement there

 

<div class="<?php if($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=1&id=1&Itemid=2') {echo 'alumni_tab_1_index';}
else {
echo "default echo";
} ?>" onMouseOver="this.className='<? if($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=1&id=1&Itemid=2') {echo 'tab1';}
else {
echo "default echo";
?>
'" onMouseOut="this.className='<? if($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=1&id=1&Itemid=2') {echo 'tab1';}
else {
echo "default echo";
?>'">alumni</div>

[bigbenbuilders]

if the if statement is false and when rolled over they are tab1

[mikesta707]

if you want to affect multiple attributes I would suggest you preform the if statement before the output of the HTML, and store the attributes in variables. like

 

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=1&id=1&Itemid=2') {
$class = "alumni_tab_1_index";
$mouseOver="whatever';
$mouseOut = "whatever
}
else {
$class = "default value";
etc. etc.
}

and in your html

<div class="<?php echo $class; ?>" onMouseOver="this.className='<?php echo $mouseOver; ?>'" onMouseOut="this.className='a<?php echo $mouseOut; ?>'">alumni</div>

[bigbenbuilders]

k let me try that

[bigbenbuilders]

mikeesta707 perfect but with just another little hitch the id=1 for that section will not change but the rest could and I need it to stay on when the id=1 regardless of the rest of the string...here is the code and it does work when I remove part of the string and switches...

 

<? if($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=1&id=1&Itemid=2') {
$class = 'alumni_tab_1_index';
$mouseOver='alumni_tab_1_on_index';
$mouseOut = 'alumni_tab_1_index';
}
else {
$class = 'tab_1';
$mouseOver = 'tab_1_on';
$mouseOut = 'tab_1';

}
?>
<div class="<?php echo $class; ?>" onMouseOver="this.className='<?php echo $mouseOver; ?>'" onMouseOut="this.className='<?php echo $mouseOut; ?>'">alumni</div>

[bigbenbuilders]

for example the string could look like this and needs to stay on

 

http://cuaa.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=1&id=5&Itemid=10

[mikesta707]

Oh, well why didn't you say that lol

 

change your if too

<?php if (stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],'id=1') !== false)

 

isn't that what you were trying to do in the beginning?
