[fri3ndly]

Please can someone help me out here:

 

I am trying to make an IF statement that is something like this, you will get the general idea what I am trying to do but I really have not got my head round IF statements. Please help, thank you

 

 

 

<?php

 

if (page="?page=about.txt")

 

"<img src="images/aboutbar.jpg" width="800" height="141" />" ;

 

}

 

if (page="?page=services.txt")

 

"<img src="images/servicesbar.jpg" width="800" height="141" />" ;

 

}

 

else{

 

<img src="images/homebar.jpg" width="800" height="141" />

?>

[only one]

---

if($_GET

---

==about.txt){

 

instead of

 

if (page="?page=about.txt")

 

and so on..

[fri3ndly]

Ah thanks!

 

So, if I want to do like 5 or 6 IF statements, do i Just keep doing 'IF','IF','IF' and then an 'else' at the end?

Ok, so this is my script now, but I keep receiving errors. Obviously I cannot echo an image to show up, so that is obviously wrong, anything else anyone notices? I think the script is not liking the html, do I need to end the php tags and restart them for each part of html?

 

	  if($_GET

---

==about.txt){
  
  echo "<img src="images/topleftbartest.jpg" width="800" height="141"/>";
  
  }elseif{
  echo "<img src="images/topleftbartest2.jpg" width="800" height="141"/>";
  
  }else{
  echo "<img src="images/topleftbartest2.jpg" width="800" height="141"/>";
              }
  ?>

switch($_GET

){

case "about.txt":

  echo '<img src="images/topleftbartest.jpg" width="800" height="141"/>';

break;

case "":

  echo '<img src="images/topleftbartest2.jpg" width="800" height="141"/>';

break;

default:

  echo '<img src="images/topleftbartest2.jpg" width="800" height="141"/>';

break;

}

thank you very much. That makes sense and the default image shows up, but the selected images do not.

 

	  <?php
  
switch($_GET

---

){
case "index2.php?page=about.txt":
  echo '<img src="images/topleftbar1.jpg" width="800" height="141"/>';
break;
case "index2.php?page=services.txt":
  echo '<img src="images/topleftbar2.jpg" width="800" height="141"/>';
break;
default:
  echo '<img src="images/topleftbar.jpg" width="800" height="141"/>';
break;
}
  ?>

 

I have tried changing the page names, but that is what the page name changes to in the top of the browser

case "index2.php?page=services.txt":

case "services.txt":

[fri3ndly]

It does not appear to work with just 'about.txt'.

 

this php code is in a file called header.php, and the text files load up in 'index2.php'

 

That would'nt matter would it?

[taith]

nope! as long as your url has "?page=about.txt" on it... it should work...

[fri3ndly]

AH GOT IT, it works without '.txt' at all

 

MANY THANKS!!!!
