php include – draw folder from pagename

  • Hello

    I want to include a php file on differnt pages with the same template

    By this I mean:

    I want to include: BEAR.php

    On all pages that use: ANIMALS template

    But is there a way to draw a foldername etc from the pagename?

    SO: A page called DUCK that uses the ANIMALS template calls a file located at DUCK/BEAR.php

    OR:A page called RABBIT that uses ANIMALS template gets file at RABBIT/BEAR.php

    USing:
    <?php include ( TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/BEAR.php’ ); ?>

    Basically I want a file to be called dependant on the pagename without having a seperate template for each page with a spcific php include line.

    Any help much appreciated!

  • Untested but should work:

    <?php
switch ( the_title( '', '', false) ) {
	case 'Duck':
	$filename = 'DUCK';
	break;

	case 'Bear':
	$filename = 'BEAR';
	break;

	[ ...]
}
$inc = TEMPLATEPATH . '/' . $filename . '.php';
include ($inc);
?>
