Question

I’m trying to figure out how to make a div invisible when someone goes to http://www.mysite.com/examplepage.php, but is visible when someone goes to http://www.mysite.com/example.php?added=1. Could someone be wonderful enough to explain this to me? The purpose of the div is give a message to users directed to the ?added=1 page – oddly enough something this useful is surprisingly hard to find instructions for. I’m a beginner, so if it’s a simple thing to do I’d be really appreciative if someone gave me an example piece of code that would do this.

Thanks a lot

In your HTML/PHP template…

<?php if (isset($_GET['added']) AND $_GET['added'] == '1'): ?>
<div>
   ...
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

Though it would be better to process the flag in some controller code and then set a flag, so you don’t have to use the isset() and the $_GET directly in your view.
