Hi all, I'm making a site with a dynamic menu based on IF statements and DB queries, but have this little problem which I can't understand the reason. My programming method is based upon an application.php file which controls the hole site and paths, template files for the header & footer and main PHP files which includes all the needed files that I mentioned before.
As an example of this, the header TITLE tag has a <?=$TITLE?> variable to take a different title for each page and after that, I put a $LOCATION variable to tell the menu() function which page is being displayed (different menus for products, about us, etc.) but the menu() function (fetched from a library) is not recognizing this $LOCATION variable. I'm declaring it as a GLOBAL inside the function, but nothing happens. Here's part of my code: This is part of my product's index.php file: <SNIP> <? require ("../application.php"); $TITLE = "Joyería Mara"; $LOCATION = ""; include ("$CFG->templatedir/header.inc"); ?> <TR> <TD VALIGN=top> <P><!--COMIENZO DE CUERPO--><TABLE BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 WIDTH="100%" HEIGHT="100%"> <TR> <TD VALIGN=top WIDTH=200> <P><TABLE BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=15 WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> <? menu(); ?> </SNIP> =========================== And this is the menu() function: <SNIP> function menu(){ GLOBAL $LOCATION; if ($LOCATION = "productos"){ GLOBAL $MENU_NAME, $MENU_BACK, $MENU_LINK, $CFG; $MENU_NAME = "Nosotros"; $MENU_LINK = "".$CFG->wwwroot."/nosotros"; $MENU_BACK = "000066"; menu_def(); unset($GLOBALS['MENU_BACK'], $GLOBALS['MENU_NAME'], $GLOBALS['MENU_LINK']); GLOBAL $MENU_NAME, $MENU_BACK, $MENU_LINK; $MENU_NAME = "Productos"; $MENU_LINK = "".$CFG->wwwroot."/productos"; $MENU_BACK = "999999"; menu_def(); unset($GLOBALS['MENU_BACK'], $GLOBALS['MENU_NAME'], $GLOBALS['MENU_LINK']); GLOBAL $MENU_NAME, $MENU_BACK, $MENU_LINK; $MENU_NAME = "Regístrese"; $MENU_LINK = "".$CFG->wwwroot."/registrese"; $MENU_BACK = "000066"; menu_def(); unset($GLOBALS['MENU_BACK'], $GLOBALS['MENU_NAME'], $GLOBALS['MENU_LINK']); GLOBAL $MENU_NAME, $MENU_BACK, $MENU_LINK; $MENU_NAME = "Contacto"; $MENU_LINK = "".$CFG->wwwroot."/contacto"; $MENU_BACK = "000066"; menu_def(); unset($GLOBALS['MENU_BACK'], $GLOBALS['MENU_NAME'], $GLOBALS['MENU_LINK']); } else if ($LOCATION = "nosotros"){ echo "hi"; } else{ echo "none"; } } </SNIP> ============================== Any thoughts?
