php include

[ads112001]

I need to create a website that has an online version and a version for internal computers ("kiosks"). The internal version doesn't include a top nav. I don't want to duplicate the entire site just to include the top nav. Is there an easier way to do this without duplicating the entire site?

A simple if statement should suffice. if(!$is_internal) { require_once 'top_menu.php'; }

If the internal version is only going to be for computers on an LAN, you could probably assign true or false to $is_internal based on whether or not the visitors IP begins with "192.168"

Something like this?

You'll need a way to determine whether the request is from inside or outside your internal network. I don't know how to do that, but one idea might be to check the visitor's IP.

<?php
// 0=false, 1=true
$forkiosk = 0; 
if(preg_match("/^192\.168\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}$/", $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']))
{
 $forkiosk = 1; 
}

if($forkiosk === 0)
{
 include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/topnav.php');
}
