if statement

[David_P]

if ( $title != "Welcome" || "Contact Me" || "Product Page" || "Thank You" ) {

echo "this";

} else {

echo "that";
}

This doesn't work. What's wrong?

What doesn't work?

Are you trying this:

if ( ($title != "Welcome") && ($title != "Contact Me")  && ($title != "Product Page")  && ($title !=  "Thank You") ) 
  {
  echo "this";
  } 
else 
  {
  echo "that";
  }

personally I would do:

$valid_pages = array( "Welcome", "Contact Me", "Product Page");
if (in_array($title , $valid_pages) ) 
  {
  echo "that";
  } 
else 
  {
  echo "this";
  }

I have a website with the pages shown in the if statement below on the root level and other web pages inside a folder.

http://www.mysite/folder_a

I use a functions.php page so that the head and foot tags and style sheet are all the same and I call it with this on the root level pages:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE);
$title = "$page_title";
include('functions.php');
do_html_header($title);
?>

and change

include('functions.php');

to this

include('../functions.php');

on the pages in folder_a.

I'm trying to set the navigation up so that I don't have to use 2 seperate functions.php pages, one for the root level pages and another for the folder_a pages.

$valid_pages = array( "Welcome", "Contact Me", "Product Page"); 
if (in_array($title , $valid_pages) ) {

echo "

<ul>\n
<li><a href='../index.php'>Home</a></li>
<li><a href='../products.php'>Products</a></li>
<li><a href='../contact.php'>Contact</a></li>
</ul>
";

} else {

echo "
<ul>
<li><a href='index.php'>Home</a></li>
<li><a href='products.php'>Products</a></li>
<li><a href='contact.php'>Contact</a></li>
</ul>
";
}

This is turning out to be quite a challenge and although I don't like hard coding navigation links with

http://www...

, I may have to.
