Im a beginner in php and want to get help from you guys here, I have a php include tag which i want it to be between a html tag and both of them between a php if tag ... I have tried this and is giving erro, please help.
<?php if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault()) ?>
<section class="content">
<?php { include '_include-content.php'; } ?>
</section>
<?php endif ?>
Do like this [Enclose any HTML content inside echo statement.]
<?php
if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault())
{
echo "<section class='content'>";
include '_include-content.php';
echo "</section>";
}
?>
According to
http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.if.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.alternative-syntax.php
<?php if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault()): ?>
<section class="content">
<?php include '_include-content.php'; ?>
</section>
<?php endif ?>
or
<?php if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault()){ ?>
<section class="content">
<?php include '_include-content.php'; ?>
</section>
<?php } ?>
should work fine..
The PHP if function works as follow
if (conditions) {
// do sth
}
or
if (conditions):
// do sth
endif;
You made a mix using the brackets and endif so for your Problem, try:
<?php if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault()) { ?>
<section class="content">
<?php include '_include-content.php'; ?>
</section>
<?php } ?>
I suggest this syntax because it is normally used.
For your problem, see the note in http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.alternative-syntax.php
Note: Mixing syntaxes in the same control block is not supported.
:at the end. it should look like:<?php if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault()) : ?>
