I have a PHP statement on a sidebar, the sidebar is included on all pages.
In the sidebar I want hide content on the results page, so I’m using this:
<?php
if ($page!='results')
{?>
<h1>THE MAIN SIDEBAR CONTENT</h1>
<div>
SOME CONTENT
</div>
<?php } ?>
The problem is that it looks like its not recognising the page as having
$page='results';
at the top of it. Maybe because the code is in a included page but I thought it would just get read as one page?
If I add
$page='results';
to the start of the above script, it works (just to verify I have written the code correctly.
I have also checked that results.php has
$page='results';
right at the very top of it.
Can I not use this code on an include or am I missing something?
As per navnav’s request, here is the code for the include and the actual page. NOTE I am not actually using ‘$results’ I’d just used that as an example for my post. In the real code below, you’ll see I am using ‘$getvaluation’
Code for sidebar….
<div class="right_part right_home">
<h1 style="padding-left: 25px">Property <span>Search</span></h1>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#couHertfordshire').click(function(){
var v = $(this).val();
$('#couHertfordshire_hide').val(v);
});
$('#couLondonNorth').click(function(){
var v = $(this).val();
$('#couLondonNorth_hide').val(v);
});
$('#couLondonNorthWest').click(function(){
var v = $(this).val();
$('#couLondonNorthWest_hide').val(v);
});

Make sure you’re including the file that assigns
resultto$pagebefore you do the comparing.So,
This is bad:
This is good:
EDIT:
I’ve taken a look at your edit, and my original suggestion is causing the issue. In your
sidebar.phpyou have$page = explode('/', $page);which is executed after you do$page='getvaluation';but, you’re also doing your comparing insidebar.phpwhich you also re-define$pagein.A quick fix for this would be to simply use another variable to represent ‘getvaluation’:
So, in your sidebar.php:
And now, in your valuation page:
Instead of:
do this:
and on other pages (pages where you would like the side bar to show), simply do not define
$getValuationor assign it tofalse:
