React to two variables?

[Davo]

Hello All!

 

Is it possible to get a part of my website (A button for instance) to react to two variables at the same time?

Lets say I have a variable on my page that tells my navigation bar that I have the 'contact' page open (like this <? $Request='Contact'; ?>)

This variable turns my 'contact button' grey (indicating I'm on that page.)

I would now like to add another variable that will change the language. (This variable would be passed through the address bar)

So the result would be that my 'contact button' would be grey and say 'contact' in the language of choice.

 

Something like:

 

if($Request=='Contact')

{

$ContactImage="<a href=\"Contact.php\"><img src='Images/NavContactRed.gif' border='0'></a>";

}

elseif($Request=='Contact' AND 'French')

{

$ContactImage="<a href=\"FRENCHContact.php\"><img src='Images/NavContactRed.gif' border='0'></a>";

}

 

Thanks!

You want to do:

<?php
elseif($Request=='Contact' || $Request == 'French') // $Request can't be both 'Contact' and 'French' at the same time
?>

Thanks kenrbnsn

 

I have had some time to tinker and managed to get it to work!

I gave the second variable a new name and after a bit of guess work it did the job.

Example:

 

if ($Request == 'Contact' and $id == 'CN')

{

    $ContactImage="<a href=\"Contact.php?id=CN\"><img src='Images/CNNavContactRed.gif' border='0'>";

 

I now have one button that can react to two variables. hope that makes sense to anyone else trying to do the same thing!

(is there a way to show that this problem has been solved on the forum list?)

You really should use the "&&" operator instead of "and" in the if statement:

<?php
if ($Request == 'Contact' && $id == 'CN')
         {
          $ContactImage='<a href="Contact.php?id=CN"><img src="Images/CNNavContactRed.gif" border="0">';
?>
