Hi Guys,

 

ExpressionEngine cms uses url segment variables:

http://expressionengine.com/user_guide/templates/globals/url_segments.html

 

so just wondering how to do the following with raw php:

 

If i have 2 urls for demo purposes:

 

www.mysite.com/animals/dogs/terrier

www.mysite.com/animals/cats/blackcat

 

where

segment1 = animals

segment2 = dogs

and segment3 = terrier

 

 

I'd like to be able to use raw php in my templates such that:

 

if segment1= animals

show this html/php code

 

else

show this other html/php code

 

or

 

if segment3= blackcat

show this html/php code

 

else

show this other html/php code

 

 

and so on for upto 5 segments or more.

 

I'm phrasing it very basically out of my own PHP newbie ignorance but hopefully someone will know the code I'm after. The segments will relate to the url in the browser as opposed to some fixed url like the samples above.

 

Thanks

Googling revealed 2 examples which I fused together so syntax probably totally wrong to try and explain. (may help}

<?php


$uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$segment = explode("/", $uri);
$uri_3 = $segment[3];



if ($segment[3]=="blackcat")
  echo "Have a nice weekend!"; //i want to echo a chunk of html code though
else
  echo "Have a nice day!"; //i want to echo a chunk of html code though



if ($segment[1]=="animals")
  echo "Have a nicer weekend!"; //i want to echo a chunk of html code though
else
  echo "Have a nicer day!"; //i want to echo a chunk of html code though

To output a chunk of html you can do either of the following

Using single quotes (make sure you escape any ' within your string using \')

echo '<div class="textColor">
<h1>title</h1>
<p> Hello phpfreaks</p>
<h2> some title</h2>
<p> another paragraph</p>
</div>';

 

Or double quotes (make sure you escape any " within your string using \")

echo "<div class=\"textColor\">
<h1>title</h1>
<p> Hello phpfreaks</p>
<h2> some title</h2>
<p> another paragraph</p>
</div>";

 

Or using heredoc syntax

echo <<<HTML
<div class="textColor">
<h1>title</h1>
<p> Hello phpfreaks</p>
<h2> some title</h2>
<p> another paragraph</p>
</div>
HTML;

 

Or  you can go in/out of PHP

<?php
// your code here
?>
<div class="textColor">
<h1>title</h1>
<p> Hello phpfreaks</p>
<h2> some title</h2>
<p> another paragraph</p>
</div>
<?php
// some more code here
?>
