在整个页面上使用if ... else if语句

Question

ok so i have this if statement it is in the header.php

<?php 
    if (is_page('estate planning')) {
        $estate = array ("eplnp","1","2","3","4","5");} 
        elseif(is_page('probate & trust administration')){
        $trust = array ("eplnp","1","2","3","4","5");}
        elseif(is_page('elder law')){
        $elder = array ("eplnp","1","2","3","4","5");}
        elseif(is_page('meet sara')){
        $meet = array ("eplnp","1","2","3","4","5");}
        elseif(is_page('blog')){
        $blog = array ("eplnp","1","2","3","4","5");}
        elseif(is_page('client forms')){
        $form = array ("eplnp","1","2","3","4","5");}   
        elseif(is_page('request a consultation')){
        $request = array ("eplnp","1","2","3","4","5");}    
            else {
            $home = array ("homebg","hmline1","hmline","phone","home","blurb-hm");}
?>

how would i use this statement globally... like i want it to apply to the index.php header.php and footer.php.

i realize i can save it as bla.php and use include() on all the pages. is there a more efficient way to do it like loading it globally from one page so the code looks neater and can be used on the the currently loaded pages?

Answer 1

Including the file with an include('bla.php') is the most efficient way of doing this. It's a single line of code to include the block and you're not repeating yourself.

Also re. Voitcus comment, you should be using switch instead of if to simplify this block. Get the page's name as a variable then do:

switch ($page) {
    case "estate planning":
        $estate = array ("eplnp","1","2","3","4","5");
        break;
    case "probate & trust administration":
        $elder = array ("eplnp","1","2","3","4","5");}
        break;
    ...
    default:
        $home = array ("homebg","hmline1","hmline","phone","home","blurb-hm");
}
