Hi, I was wondering if there is a php code to display the page name of the current file you are visiting. I want to make a header script for my pages and just want to type in "RKS UnderGround > pagename here.
Using a code where pagename is displayed.
Thanks.
P.S. I am currently looking at the php funcion lists, but not luck so far.you could do a function like
<? function displayPageName($name, $link) { ?>
» <a href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"<?=$link?>"><?=$name?></a>
<?}?>
and in your page
<a href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"/">home</a><? displayPageName('about', 'about.php');?>
hth or at least gets you in the right track
thanks, but where would I put the function code?you can put it in another file with all you other functions or on the same page... at the top like
<? function displayPageName($name, $link) { ?>
» <a href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"<?=$link?>"><?=$name?></a>
<?}?>

<a href=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"/">home</a><? displayPageName('about', 'about.php');?>Thanks, where about.php is do I change that to the file I am currently using the code in?
And just out of curiousity, is there a way to break down that code do get the filename and display it, I wasnt planing on using links. If there isnt that way works fine, Thanks

yes... it was just an example. you don't need to do it exactly like that... you could just have
<? function displayPageName($name) {
}?>
or whatever you want

<? function displayPageName($name) {?>
<h1><?=$name?></h1>
<?}?>
you can do whatever you want with functions... you created them!Thanks SO MUCH!no problem
could echo be used to display as you have to replace:
<h1><?=$name?></h1>
<?}?>
And use something like this:
<?php echo "$name" ?>
I am just wondering,
xxnfg618xx <--- PHP N00b,<?=$name?> is shorthand for <?php echo $name ?>, yes. But lose the quotes around $name, they are not needed, and actually adds unnecessary work for the preprocessor.
I always use the full <?php echo $name; ?> since short_open_tag is a configuration setting, which may not be enabled on all servers.Short <? blahblah ?> tags can cause problems in XML and XHTML, so you are best to use long <?php blahblah ?> tags instead.
