If you're using PHP (or any other interpreted language) overhead is a fact of life, there's little you can do about it. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I was wondering if there is a way to do the same thing without the overhead of all that if statements. Two menus, do you mean like this: http://webbytedd.com/clients/beckyscan/about-company.php No offense meant, but if you're concerned about the if overhead then I question if you would understand how the double menu works.

CSS ? If that's not enough to alter the display, you need to make your includes sensitive to or aware of the context they're being included in. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Hi Jessen, The question is how to make it aware of the context. Do you know any work dealing with that?

[PHP] Links hierarchy maintenance
Hi, I'm working on a site that is becoming more and more bigger (containing more links). Now the problem of links maintenance arises. An intuitive idea that i'm trying to do right know is calling php functions that will display every part of the site that is repetitive. For example left side menu and footer. For the left side menu with static HTML and CSS i'm disabling the link to the actual page, like that the user has a visual presentation allowing him to know where he is exaclty in the site. This introduces more difficulty for the function that will display the menu. So i'm wondering if there is some efficient way of modeling and implementing this. All suggestions are welcome, and if some part of the problem is not clear enough please feel free to ask me more questions if necessary. Thanks Looking for last minute shopping deals?

I have one include for the header, one for the footer and one for the navigation, which is usually called by the header. If something changes in navigation, I change one file and it's done throughout the site. Look into includes.
