if path equals help

[xstevex]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to get this statement to work:

 

<?php  if ($path = 'http://www.mysite/directory1/') { ?> <!--nothing--> <?php }

else { ?> <?php print '<h2'. ($tabs ? ' class="with-tabs"' : '') .'>'. $title .'</h2>'; ?> <?php } ?>

 

The problem I think is with the $path bit. I want the second bit to show up on every page except the $path pages.

 

I've tried $url and others but haven't found the right way to do it. My php knowledge is very basic.

 

Thanks,

Steve.

Hi,

I've found them searching forums and seeing similar code to what I want to do and trying to modify and use it.

well variables don't magically appear to what you think thye should be you have to define em

[xstevex]

Is there a way to do it using the url? I think this would be simplest. I don't need to do it this other way.

[cooldude832]

go to php.net and look up the $_SERVER variable it has some info you might be able to use

[xstevex]

I've seen many different things to try and gotten many errors. My php knowledge is basic so if you could give me an example of the syntax that would be good.

[cooldude832]

did u look up the $_SERVER var and find something useful?

 

[Sesquipedalian]

that code made no sense at all...

 

But uh.. the if statement would be:

 

if ($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] == 'http://www.mysite/directory1/') {}

 

but really.. the code won't work by the way you wrote it.. even if you change that...

Ok, I'm sorry.

 

Essentially all I'm trying to do is make a statement that does: if it is in URLx, the thing doesn't show, but if it is in any other URL, the thing does show.

 

I've just learnt how to define variables now so I can define a variable if needed.

 

Or, "if not in URLx, show the thing" would be good too.

Thanks Red arrow and others,

 

It will take me some time to test this out.

Thanks a lot for the advice.

 

I tried many solutions, really I did, but in the end I resorted to just removing the titles from my database manually, which did the trick.
