Syntax error

[Guest]

Hi There,

 

I want to include a header.php based on the category id... in my code on the product.php page I have this:

 

<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES '.'$category_id''".php")?>

 

However how do I get is so if the category id is 21 that it includes the header file 21.php

 

I am very new to PHP

 

Thanks

That should be

<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES ' . $category_id . '.php')?>

If the category_id is 21, that should include 21.php (assuming includes/21.php exists).

 

Good luck,

Matt

Hi Matt,

 

tried that and got the error:

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING

 

Thank you for your help
