Okay so I've been fighting with this for awhile now and haven't found a better way yet.... What I want to do, is I have a small portion of my website included into a template. It is displaying hosting plans so on the main site "index.php" I want it to display a little bit of text (Same as on the main hosting page) and just 1 random hosting plan. then if they click on that plan and go into the main hosting section, I want them to see ALL the hosting plans. Here's the code that I'm using: if($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] = "/index.php") {
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM hosting ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1";
}else{
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM hosting ORDER BY hostingSort ASC";
} Now... I know there MUST be a better way to do it but I can't see the tree's through the forest. Any other way I could do it? I'm avoiding having lots of duplicate code/text on my pages.
