Hey there,

I have an if statement (not in Wordpress; just a simple PHP site) that refuses to work. Thought it was right, guess it's not?

Code I have in between my HEAD tags:


<?php if($page == 'obituaries') { ?>
	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/resources/css/superbox.css" media="all" />
	<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script&gt;
	<script type="text/javascript" src="resources/js/superbox.js"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript">
		$(function(){
			$.superbox.settings = {
				closeTxt: "Close",
				loadTxt: "Loading...",
				nextTxt: "Next",
				prevTxt: "Previous"
			};
			$.superbox();
		});
	</script>
<?php } ?>

Code I have after my BODY:


    <?
        $path = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
        $page = basename($path);
        $page = basename($path, '.php');
        $dir = substr(strrchr(getcwd(), '/'), 1);
    ?>

I also have the code from Chris Coyier to create a body ID on every page:


<body id="<?= basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], '.php')?>">

But I can't figure out how to call a body id even if I wanted to try that way.

Anybody have any thoughts?

It looks like you're defining your $page variable after you begin the if() statement. If the variable hasn't been set to "obituaries" yet, it shouldn't meet that condition.

I think that's the problem anyways!

That would make sense, I'll try that!

Thank you.
