Title Vars and elseif

WatsonN · May 17, 2010

What I am trying to do is setup a static theme page and the title just call a variable. So in order to do this I need to figure out how to make

($FooTitle == $title)

I know the echo in the code below isnt right either but its all I could come up with to make it fail...

<?php
if ($url == $s1) {
    echo($AIWTDtitle == $title) ;
} elseif ($url == $s2) {
    echo($LMtitle == $title);
} elseif ($url == $s3) {
    echo($TMLtitle == $title);
} elseif ($url == 'home')  {
    echo($HOMEtitle == $title);
}
?>

Thanks in advanced (:

One "=" for assignment, two "==" for comparison, so

<?php
if ($url == $s1) {
    $AIWTDtitle =$title ;
} elseif ($url == $s2) {
    $LMtitle = $title;
} elseif ($url == $s3) {
    $TMLtitle = $title;
} elseif ($url == 'home')  {
    $HOMEtitle = $title;
}
?>

But, this would make more sense:

<?php
if ($url == $s1) {
    $title = $AIWTDtitle;
} elseif ($url == $s2) {
    $title = $LMtitle;
} elseif ($url == $s3) {
    $title = $TMLtitle;
} elseif ($url == 'home')  {
    $title = $HOMEtitle;
}
echo $title;
?>

Thank you. But when i tried that I could not get it to set a title. My index file looks like this:

<?php require('variables.php') ?>
<?php require('Header.php') ?>
<?php require('Top.php') ?>

<?php
$url = (isset($_GET['p']) ? $_GET['p'] : home);
?>

<?php
if ($url == $s1) {
    include($l1);
} elseif ($url == $s2) {
    include($l2);
} elseif ($url == $s3) {
    include($l3);
} else  {
include($home);
}
?>

<?php require('Bottom.php') ?>

title:<?php echo $title; ?>

The title script is in the var file. I tried it in the index file too and it wouldn't work there either. I put the echo at the bottom to see if that would return anything either and it didn't.

Is this possible?

Can you show is the code for your include files? I don't see where you're using the variable.

WatsonN · May 17, 2010

Sure thing

variables.php

<?php
$s1 = "AIWTD-Sugarland" ;
$s2 = "LM-MontgomeryGentry" ;
$s3 = "TML-JeremyCamp" ;
$home = "home.php" ;
$l1 = "Lyrics/Sugarland/All-I-Want-To-Do.php" ;
$l2 = "Lyrics/Montgomery-Gentry/Lucky-Man.php" ;
$l3 = "Lyrics/Jeremy-Camp/Take-My-Life.php" ;
$AIWTDtitle = "All I Want To Do - Sugarland ~ Nathan Watson" ;
$LMtitle = "Lucky Man - Montgomery Gentry ~ Nathan Watson" ;
$TMLtitle = "Take My Life - Jeremy Camp ~ Nathan Watson" ;
$HOMEtitle = "Welcome ~ Nathan Watson"
?>


<?php
if ($url == $s1) {
    $title = $AIWTDtitle;
} elseif ($url == $s2) {
    $title = $LMtitle;
} elseif ($url == $s3) {
    $title = $TMLtitle;
} elseif ($url == 'home')  {
    $title = $HOMEtitle;
}
echo $title;
?>

Where is the varialble $url being set? If that's not set, then the variable $title will not be set.

Ken

WatsonN · May 17, 2010

$url is being set in the index file

<?php
$url = (isset($_GET['p']) ? $_GET['p'] : home);
?>

kenrbnsn · May 17, 2010

But you're setting the $title in variables.php which is included before that line is executed.

Also, the line should be

<?php
$url = (isset($_GET['p']) ? $_GET['p'] : 'home');
?>

I knew there was going to be something little like that that I missed.

the new code:

<?php
$url = (isset($_GET['p']) ? $_GET['p'] : 'home');
?>
<?php require('variables.php') ?>
<?php require('Header.php') ?>
<?php require('Top.php') ?>
<?php
if ($url == $s1) {
    include($l1);
} elseif ($url == $s2) {
    include($l2);
} elseif ($url == $s3) {
    include($l3);
} else  {
include($home);
}
?>

<?php require('Bottom.php') ?>

Thank you very much

kenrbnsn · May 17, 2010

You don't have keep going in & out of PHP:

<?php
$url = (isset($_GET['p']) ? $_GET['p'] : 'home');
require('variables.php'); 
require('Header.php');
require('Top.php');
if ($url == $s1) {
    include($l1);
} elseif ($url == $s2) {
    include($l2);
} elseif ($url == $s3) {
    include($l3);
} else  {
include($home);
}
require('Bottom.php');
?>
