Any ideas why the last link is not working?

<?php
if(empty($page)) {
include('include/news.php');
} else {
if($page==home) {
include('include/news.php');
} elseif($page==products) {
include('include/products.php');
} elseif($page==contact) {
include('contact.html');
}
}
?>

Is it because I have two elseif's?
note the others work, just the last one...

Thanks :)

Shouldn't it be...
include('include/contact.html');

Also, you might want to consider 'require()' rather than include - i.e. cause a fail if they don't exist.

Oh - and what exactly are: home, products and contact (i.e. the RH value of your equality test) - are they string literals or variables? If they're string literals, you want delimiters round them.

mate nice one, after what you were saying I just noticed the problem :)

I didn't have the include in their (includeas in the folder I was using)

Thanks :)

Once you have sorted the includes out try this code instead


<?php

$mypath = "include";

switch ($page) {
case "home": include "$mypath/news.php"; break;
case "products": include "$mypath/products.php"; break;
case "contact": include "contact.html"; break;
default: include "$mypath/news.php";
}

?>


Cleaner and more efficient.

Hello,

I have another question.. I cant describe it very well but I will try my best.

I would like to have something similar to this:

Main text
Sub text
Main text
Sub text

Only the main text appears, but once the user clicks the main text it shows the sub text.

I would like to use this to display different bikes I supply for, and then the products available appear.

Any ideas on what it’s called?

Thank you
Jon
