Conditioning incude() 1

[smashing]

I want to put incude() or require into an if else loop ie:

if ($condition=="a&quot {
incude 'yes.php';
} else {
incude 'no.php';
}

I understand from php.net that because it's a language construct this isn't possible to do "Variable functions won't work with language constructs" How do I get around this?

There is no reason, other than your consistent misspelling of "include" in your example, that your code won't work.

The only stricture is that if you use include() inside a conditional block, you must inclose it in statement blocks.

This will work:

if ($foo == 'bar')
{
   include ('bar.php');
}
else
{
   include ('baz.php');
}

This will not:

if ($foo == 'bar')
   include ('bar.php');
else
   include ('baz.php');

This is because include() is a language construct, not a function. It's also the reason why the parentheses are optional.
