do a search $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] - it should answer all your question. if in doubt a var_dump() can do wonders (in this finding out what kind of info is generally available, e.g.: <?php echo '<pre>'; var_dump($_SERVER, $_REQUEST, $_ENV, $_POST, $_GET);

Thanks Jochem,

no probs - only by looking at your code I suspect your not all that clear as to what it does *exactly* and/or why it works (I may be wrong). what it does is check if $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] equate to true (i.e. not empty - which it never is) and then check whether $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] equates to false, which it might or might not but is probably not a basis on which to decide which menu to show. also breaking in and out of php with <?php ?><?php ?> is a bad idea - it sucks to look at and is a waste of cpu cyles - minimal gains, but good habits should be encouraged early.

A combination $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] and $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] did the trick:

<?php      if(($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) && (!$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
       $current_nav = "includes/home_nav.php";

} else {

       $current_nav = "includes/inside_nav.php";

} ?> <?php include($current_nav); ?>
