Hello everyone,

I'm using Zen Cart for an online store and I need to display a different menu on certain pages. Of course the whole store's design is controlled by 1 file which is why I'm looking to use PHP for this.

My knowledge of PHP is basically 0 and I've tried to find a solution. I can find the code which will allow me to display code based on 1 page but not multiple pages. The URLS are dynamic e.g index.php?main_page=index&cPath=10 so I hope that's not a problem.

So for example:

If URL is /index.php?main_page=index&cPath=10, /index.php?main_page=index&cPath=8, index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4

display:

<ul>
<li><a href="link.php">Link 1</li>
<li><a href="link.php">Link 2</li>
<li><a href="link.php">Link 3</li>
</ul>

else display:

<ul>
<li><a href="link.php">Link 4</li>
<li><a href="link.php">Link 5</li>
<li><a href="link.php">Link 6</li>
</ul>

I'm also offering $10 via PayPal to anyone who can point me in the right direction

Thanks,
Jack

when going to each of these seperate pages, try passing a content variable to the new page ie: <a href="index.php?content=cPath4>Link to page</a>

Then on each of the individual pages, include something like this:

<?php
if (!isset($_REQUEST['content'])) include("generic_menu.inc.php");
else
{
$content = $_REQUEST['content'];
$menu = $content . ".inc.php";
include($menu);
}
?>

each of your individual menus could be saved as ***.inc.php

or alternatively, a series of "if" statements that display the correct menu based on $_REQUEST['content']

Hello Jez,

Thanks for taking the time to write some code!

The problem is that only 1 file controls the whole design so I only have 1 page to create a different menu on each page of the website

first thing-y u wanna put whole site in single page?
2-as u r doing so u need to use swich case based upon querystring passed with url.
but writing such code for large no of pages is not a good idea. Cuz ur code will get difficult to understand.
Modular approach is alweys have to be followed. So best way is to separate pages accorcing to content.
