Thanks for all the tips. It's getting generally getting clearer, but I'm
a little confused somewhere.
Can I give you a better explanation of what I'm trying to do, along with
my latest code?
The pages on this site focus on various nations and states, with lots of
links like this:
[LOCAL] ../world/na/us/wy/index.php (World/North America/United
States/Wyoming)
[REMOTE] www.politix.org/world/na/us/wy/
Each page will feature several prominent instances of the name of a
country or state, which I can facilitate by using 'MyName', such as the
title (MyName = Canada, or Wyoming), along with several instances of its
abbreviation, which is used in several URLs and in the top banner; for
example, this is the top banner for Alaska: img
src=../images/banners/ak.gif width=200 height=150 alt= /
Below is the entire head section from the main page. Notice that it's
mostly a series of variable statements ('MyName', 'MyCountry', etc.),
followed by an included page (head), which is essentially the REAL head
section.
I inserted one of the functions you suggested - $includea1 = TRUE; -
after the include, but I'm sure I did it wrong.
!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd;
html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; xml:lang=en lang=en
head
?php
$myname = 'MyName';
$mynickname = 'MyNickname';
$mycontinent = 'North America';
$mycountry = 'United States';
$mystate = 'MyState';
$postcode = 'wy';
$linkcontinent = '/na';
$linkcountry = '/us';
$linkstate = '/wy';
$periods = '../../../../';
$linkwebring = '/world/na/us/wy/';
include (../../../../includes/head.php);
$includea1 = TRUE;
?
/head
* * * * * * * * * *
And here's the included page:
?php
$todayDate = date(m-d-Y);
echo 'titleFreedomware gt; ' . $statename . '/title';
echo 'meta name=description content=' . $statename . ' versus
Microsoft /';
echo 'meta name=keywords content=' . $statename . ' versus
Microsoft /';
echo 'meta name=mssmarttagspreventparsing content=true /';
echo 'meta http-equiv=content-Type content=text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1 /';
echo 'meta name=author content=David Blomstrom /';
echo 'script src=' . $periods . 'js/swapclass.js
type=text/javascript/script';
echo 'script src=' . $periods . 'js/ss.js
type=text/javascript/script';
echo 'script language=JavaScript type=text/JavaScript
!--
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}
//--
/script';
echo 'link href=' . $periods . 'css/a1.css rel=stylesheet
type=text/css /';
if ($includea1) echo 'link href=' . $periods . 'css' . $linkcontinent
. '/a1.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css /';
echo 'link href=' . $periods . 'css/na/north.css rel=stylesheet
type=text/css /';
echo 'link href=' . $periods . 'css/themes/peace.css rel=alternate
stylesheet type=text/css title=Peace /';
echo 'link href=' . $periods . 'css/themes/war.css rel=alternate
stylesheet type=text/css title=War /';
echo 'link rel=SHORTCUT ICON href=../../../../us/aaa/favicon.ico /'
?
Note that two of my style sheets are named css/a1.css and css/na/a1.css
(na is short for North America). Maybe I should rename the second a1 to
avoid confusion, though I'd prefer to tackle it head on and learn how to
deal with this situation. (Does $includea1 = TRUE; refer to css/a1.css
or css/na/a1.css?)
So here's what I have at present:
* * * * * * * * * *
The first line denotes style sheet css/a1.css, preceded by . $periods
., which can be replaced by ../../ or ../../../, depending on the
folder level:
echo 'link href=' . $periods . 'css/a1.css rel=stylesheet
type=text/css /';
* * * * * * * * * *
The second line denotes style sheet css/na/a1.css, preceded by if
($includea1), which I'm probably using incorrectly:
if ($includea1) echo 'link href=' . $periods . 'css' . $linkcontinent
. '/a1.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css /';
Note, also, that I inserted . $linkcontinent ., which will be replaced
by na/ (North America) on this particular main page.
In summary, it looks like I need to fix two things:
MAIN PAGE
$linkwebring = '/world/na/us/wy/';
include (../../../../includes/head.php);
$includea1 = TRUE;
?
/head
INCLUDED PAGE
echo 'link href=' . $periods . 'css/a1.css rel=stylesheet
type=text/css /';
if ($includea1) echo 'link href=' . $periods . 'css' . $linkcontinent
. '/a1.css rel=stylesheet type=text/css /';
echo 'link href=' . $periods . 'css/na/north.css rel=stylesheet
type=text/css /';
* * * * * * * * * *
I hope that isn't too confusing. It's actually becoming a lot clearer
for me; I'm just temporarily confused.
Thanks!
