PHP HELP

[steerpike]

My site has SHTML includes for the Main Menu.

The include file uses

<!--#if expr="$area = buttonname" -->
<show button up>

<!--#else -->
<show button down>

...in the include file for the main menu to display the selected button of the current page.


I recently added a PHP function to the page and now I need to change the SHTML include to a PHP include.

I found this way to include a file in PHP for the Main menu.

<?php require_once('assets/ssi/mainmenu.php'); ?>

...but I haven't found how to do the <if> <else> part of the SHTML in PHP.


Does anyone know how to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Your question is kinda confusing.. but it depends on what the SHTML if/else is supposed to do, in order to get to work in PHP.

If you could explain more what the if/else in shtml is doing, it would be easier to help you.

[code]<?php

if (??) {

//Show button up

}

else {

//Show button down

}

?>[/code]
