Php Template Process, If Function, Please Help

[work_it_work]

i got a php website based on templates, and i want to make some changes.

it's based in header.tpl; mainpage.tpl; and footer.tpl

what i want to achieve is to have 2 header.tpl pages displayed separately. or at least 2 different headers.

on index.page i want to display header1.tpl and on any other page i want to display header2.tpl

 

how can i do that? please help!

Post your code and go into detail with the problem you're having. You'll get better help.

Here's the code that triggers the template:

 

$template_output .= $template->process('header.tpl.php');

 

what i want to do is to process the header.tpl.php only if the current page is index.php

on any other page i want to process the header2.tpl.php

 

so visitors when enter the www.site.com or www.site.com/index.php will see one version of the header, and if the navigate away from index.php page they will see another header on the page

 

basically the difference between the 2 header.tpl.php files is one jquery banner....

Without know the rest of the code surrounding the template output, it would be difficult to give a clear solution, however, maybe this will give you some ideas:

 

function header( $name = null ) {
       if( isset($name) )
      	 $template_output .= $template->process('header-{$name}.php');
  	 $template_output .= $template->process('header.php');
}

i need something simple, exactly like this:

 

if the current page is www.site.com/index.php process header.tpl.php

if the current page is not www.site.com/index.php process header2.tpl.php

 

please help

You could try something like the following:

 

$templateFile = ($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] == '/index.php') ? 'header.tpl.php' : 'header2.tpl.php';

but if the visitor just came in and the address is only www.site.com ? does it work?

[cyberRobot]

As long as your website is set so that visits to "www.site.com" show the index.php file, the code provided should work.

great, and how would i integrate that function to my function:

$template_output .= $template->process('header.tpl.php');

 

thank you!

[cyberRobot]

That kind of depends on your code. You should be able to do something like:

 

$templateFile = ($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] == '/index.php') ? 'header.tpl.php' : 'header2.tpl.php';
$template_output .= $template->process($templateFile);

[work_it_work]

i've tried that but it only display the header2.tpl.php page. doesn't matter if is /index.php or /search.php ...any ideea?
