Display Code If/Else

jennyinthesky

I have a PHPBB board and I want to display a different colour Google Adsense ad at the top of the page for each style. I have three different styles, sisters.css, darkfae.css, and black.css, and I have an ad for each. This is the code I'm using in overall_header.tpl. It looks all right to me, but it doesn't seem to work. I see the darkfae.css ad when using all styles.

<?php if ( {T_HEAD_STYLESHEET} == sisters.css ) { ?>
<div align="center"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-0481246088971205";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 15;
google_ad_format = "728x15_0ads_al_s";
google_ad_channel ="6489528927";
google_color_border = "CC0000";
google_color_bg = "9999FF";
google_color_link = "333399";
google_color_url = "CCCCFF";
google_color_text = "000000";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></div>
<?php } elseif ( {T_HEAD_STYLESHEET} == darkfae.css ) { ?>
<div align="center"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-0481246088971205";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 15;
google_ad_format = "728x15_0ads_al_s";
google_ad_channel ="6489528927";
google_color_border = "4273AD";
google_color_bg = "6699CC";
google_color_link = "064E98";
google_color_url = "CCCCCC";
google_color_text = "000000";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"

</script></div>
<?php } elseif ( {T_HEAD_STYLESHEET} == black.css ) { ?>

<?php } ?>

Here's a link to my forum, if that will help at all:

Im fairly new to PHP, however, it looks like your brackets are in the wrong place for your If/Else statements.

I Tried to separate your code a bit. You have some odd <?php and ?> placements. Your if statements wont really work because the brackets are stopping right before the php end statement.

And, you have comment tags covering your google_ad statements, so how will it even display it if its commented out?

Like I said, Im fairly new at this, but to me it looks like an issue there.. Hope it helps

hey... those funny characters are not just for decoration... they have a sense in PHP =) you have to put single or double quotes around strings. on the other hand you don't need the curly braces around the constant.

an if statement should look like this:

if (T_HEAD_STYLESHEET == "sister.css") {
...
} else if (T_HEAD_STYLESHEET == "darkfae.css") {
...
} else {
...
}

Thanks for the replies, but nothing seems to have worked yet. :S

Ganlek, I tried the code but it's still the same problem. When I got the code from Google it had the comment tags already. I thought it was odd as well, but it still seems to display.

Trexx, from what I can understand by looking at the message board code, I need the curly braces around T_HEAD_STYLESHEET. If I view the source of the page when I have included the curly braces, {T_HEAD_STYLESHEET} will change to sisters.css (or whatever the name is of the style I'm currently using). If I remove the curly braces, it stays as T_HEAD_STYLESHEET. :/ I've added the quotation marks, but it also hasn't changed anything.

Try this mabey??

<?php

No, that doesn't work either. I see the ad and then

} elseif ( black.css == darkfae.css ) { 
} elseif ( black.css == black.css ) { 
} ?>

trexx

of course you can not skip the php begin and end tags...

<?php
if (T_HEAD_STYLESHEET == "darkfae.css") { 
?>
html code
<?php } else { ?>
html_code
<?php } ?>

and so on

I'm not sure if template markup is interpreted inside PHP code. Depends on the template application (so to answer that would require reading the application's documentation).

If it can then the obvious question is still why "sisters.css" etc. aren't in quotes.

Try setting error-reporting to E_ALL while you develop.

<?php if ( {T_HEAD_STYLESHEET} == "sisters.css" )  {

Anyone have an andwer to this? I put it on hold for a while to work on other stuff.
