Hello,

I'm trying to include a PHP piece of code, based on an IF statement.

Basically, I have a popup window on my side (which gives further information about specifics). This in only needed on one page, but the <head> is in a differnet file. Page titles are assigned using <?php echo $_GET["title"] ?>, with ?title=blah in the URL.

Therefore, I would like to use Javascript to include my peice of code if the page title equals a specific one.

Here is the page i'm working on http://www.alphalenzie.org.uk/talkti...=Talk%20Titles

Here is the piece of JS I put in the <head>:

Code:

<SCRIPT>
if(<?php echo $_GET["title"] ?>=Talk Titles){
   document.write("<SCRIPT>
<!-- PopUp Link JavaScript Code Provided By: http://www.DesignerWiz.com - Development Resource & JavaScript Public Archive Center -->
function popUp(page,PWidth,PHeight,id) {
 eval("designerwiz"+id+"=window.open('"+page+"','designerwiz1','toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,status=0,menubars=0,resizable=1,width="+PWidth+",height="+PHeight+"')")

}
</SCRIPT>")
}

else {}
</SCRIPT>

As you can see, this didn't work

i tried to get it to "write" the code there, but it was contained within a <script> tag alreadym and that probably screwed it up.

In conclusion, I'm trying to include a JS file, based on the fact that the page title is a specific name.

Second quesion: I will be making about 20 of these popups. This is a huge about of JS coding if each one is in the form:

Code:

<SCRIPT>
<!-- PopUp Link JavaScript Code Provided By: http://www.DesignerWiz.com - Development Resource & JavaScript Public Archive Center -->
function popUp(page,PWidth,PHeight,id) {
 eval("designerwiz"+id+"=window.open('"+page+"','designerwiz1','toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,status=0,menubars=0,resizable=1,width="+PWidth+",height="+PHeight+"')")

}
</SCRIPT>

Is there any way to add popup IDs to this line of code? IE, would ...

Code:

"+page+"','designerwiz1','designerwiz2','designerwiz3','toolbar=0,

...
work?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions on this matter.

There is so much wrong, I don't know where to start

OK, this code;

HTML Code:

<SCRIPT>
if(<?php echo $_GET["title"] ?>=Talk Titles){
   document.write("<SCRIPT>
<!-- PopUp Link JavaScript Code Provided By: http://www.DesignerWiz.com - Development Resource & JavaScript Public Archive Center -->
function popUp(page,PWidth,PHeight,id) {
 eval("designerwiz"+id+"=window.open('"+page+"','designerwiz1','toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=  0,status=0,menubars=0,resizable=1,width="+PWidth+",height="+PHeight+"')")

}
</SCRIPT>")
}

else {}
</SCRIPT>

First of all, line #1 of your script;
- You have a single equals sign '='. You use a double '==' to compare
- your title needs to be in speach marks ("Talk Titles")

Your document.write code contains un-escaped speach marks; eval(" should be eval(\" (etc).

You should declare the script language;
<script language="Javascript">

To add ID's from a PHP script just do <?=$page_id ?> Where ever you want the vars, or to do it client side make a function;

HTML Code:

function popupWindow(szFile) {
     window.open(szFile);
.... etc
}

To include a specific file (server side evaluation) do something like this;

PHP Code:


			
<?php



$allTitles = array();

$allTitle["Talk Titles"] = "my_script1.js";

$allTitle["More Titles"] = "my_script2.js";



if(isset($allTitles[$_GET['title']])) { echo "<script language=\"Javascript\" src=\"".$allTitles[$_GET['title']]."\"></script>\n"; }



?>

Hope that explains things

Hey

I like the second suggestion best, as I have more experience with PHP than JS.

I only need it to be included into the page if the page title is Talk Titles. Can I get rid of $allTitle["More Titles"] = "my_script2.js"; in this case?

If have not managed to get it working, but I will keep trying. Given that I only need it to be on this one page, can I simplify the IF statement so that it doesn't "GET" the variable?

Thanks for your help so far.

Hi

I have sorted it out now, thanks to your suggestion.

The code I used was:

Code:

<!-- choose to include popup -->
<?php
if ( $_GET["title"]  == "Talk Titles" ) {
include("further_info.js");
}
?>
<!-- end choose to include popup -->

Thanks for helping.
