if _ else question

cayleyv

I have an external config file that is used to create pages in php. Some of these pages have the $keywords $description variables in them, some do not. I would like to write a simple if_else statement that will either use the 2 variables in the config file or include a set meta tag file.

this is what I have so far:

<?php
if ($keywords $description)
{
echo ("<META name="keywords" content="$keywords">
<META name="description" content=" $description">");
}
else
{
require $inc_dir . "/meta.inc";
}
?>

thanks:

What is your question?

If your code doesn't work try this.

<?php
if (isset($keywords)and isset($description))
{
echo ("<META name=\"keywords\" content=\"$keywords\">
<META name=\"description\" content=\" $description\">");
}
else
{
require $inc_dir . "/meta.inc";
}
?>

<?php
if ( ($keywords) && ($description) )
{ // this executes if $keywords and $description have information
echo ("<META name="keywords" content="$keywords">
<META name="description" content=" $description">");
}
else
{
require $inc_dir . "/meta.inc";
}
?>

oops, i didn't take notice to your echo statement ;o)

<?php
if ( ($keywords) && ($description) )
{ // this executes if $keywords and $description have information
echo "<META name=\"keywords\" content=\"$keywords\">
<META name=\"description\" content=\" $description\">";
}
else
{
require $inc_dir . "/meta.inc";
}
?>

i don't think you should have the ('s and )'s in your echo statement.

You should substitute 'include' for 'require'--it makes no sense to use 'require' in the body of a conditional statement, since 'require' gets included no matter what.
