RE: [PHP] must be a better way

if (ereg ("services", $PHP_SELF)) { $header = "Available Services"; } elseif (ereg ("about", $PHP_SELF)) { $header = "About the Company"; } else { $header = "Welcome"; } Or if you want it more compact, you don't need the {}'s if it's only one line of content after the if statements. if (ereg ("services", $PHP_SELF)) $header = "Available Services"; elseif (ereg ("about", $PHP_SELF)) $header = "About the Company"; else $header = "Welcome"; As usual, http://www.php.net/manual/control-structures.elseif.php has all the info you need.
