If and include

[mtran]

I want to have different left nav for differernt areas of the site, for example if the pages are about company, I use the following,... but it doesn't work:

<?php 
  if($navL.indexOf("company")!==-1) include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/site/navL_company.php'); ?>

At the beginning of each page in the Company area, I put:
$navL="company_about"
or $navL="company_locations"....

What's wrong? Thanks!

Eh, there's easier ways to do this. For example, add this onto the url: ?company=yes.

Then:

if(@$_GET['company']){
    $co = $_GET['company'];
    if($co == 'yes'){
        include('site/navL_company.php');}
    else if($co == 'no'){
        include('site/navL.php');}
    else{include('site/navL.php');}}
else{include('site/navL.php');}

It is because PHP does not have a built-in function called indexOf (that's in Javascript). Anyways, you could try using strstr to find out if the word "company" has been passed like so:

<?php 
if(strstr($navL, 'company')) { 
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/site/navL_company.php'); 
}
?>

Hope this helps.
