Anyone use Text Pattern

« on: August 01, 2008, 10:16:56 AM »

I#m very stuck on a plugin for text pattern that is basicly a "if/else" condition, but it's not that straight forward, wondered if anyone of you guys knows anything!!

also, if this doesn't work, could someone point me in the right direction for doing an " if url is x do this, else do that" in PHP

thanx guys

Here is some php code I use to detect whether I am using my local webserver or the actual website.

Code:

switch ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']) {
case "localhost":

break;
case "www.blah.com":
case "blah.com":

break;
}

just put your php code before the break statements

Try replacing SERVER_NAME with REQUEST_URI or PHP_SELF

This should check the last part of your URL ie this.php or then.php

Try echoing all 3 $SERVER VARIABLES to work out which you need or a combination of 2 of them.

Code:

<?php
switch ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']) {
case "localhost":
$main = "<p>This is the stuff I want to do for this page.</p>";
break;
case "www.blah.com":
case "blah.com":
$main = "<p>This is the stuff I want to do for the other page.</p>";
break;
}
?>
<body>
<?php echo $main; ?>
</body>

OK, looks like i've got that sorted.. thanks Wattsa...

now i need to do this...

if REQUEST_URI == 'this-page' OR 'that-page'
do this

ive got the if statment to work fine with 1
IE:
if REQUEST_URI == 'this-page'

but i need to specify more than one uri or the whole thing will get very messy...
any help as usual will be appriciated

The OR in php is ||

so:

Code:

if ($_SERVER('REQUEST_URI') == 'this-page' || $_SERVER('REQUEST_URI') == 'that-page') {
}

Switched to Wordpress a while ago, better all round - textpattern is ok but a bit clunky, and WP has a better community
