HTML within PHP

Zap · 12-23-2007, 08:47 PM

I have the following code that is inserted into a Wordpress theme file.

As you can imagine, it's not outputting correctly. I am no coder so I need some help with this. The following code should (hopefully) determine the country a visitor is from and display the appropriate banner to them.

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

$country = wp_ozh_getCountryName(0) ;

switch ($country) {

   case "Canada" :

<a target="_blank" href="http://www.affiliate.com/fs-bin/click?id=referrer_ID"><IMG alt="Canadian Banner" border="0" src="http://images.affiliate.com/outsidebanners/Homepage-120X600.gif"></a><IMG border="0" width="1" height="1" src="http://ad.affiliate.com/fs-bin/show?id=referrer_ID">;

        break;

   default :

<a target="_blank" href="http://www.affiliate.com/fs-bin/click?id=referrer_ID"><IMG alt="American Banner" border="0" src="http://images.affiliate.com/outsidebanners/Homepage-120X600.gif"></a><IMG border="0" width="1" height="1" src="http://ad.affiliate.com/fs-bin/show?id=referrer_ID">;

}

?>

The code that determines the country is working fine when I substitute the html banner links with the echo command. I just need someone to tell me how to include the html code with the correct syntax inside the php tags.

Thanks!

just echo the HTML

Code:

<?php
$country = wp_ozh_getCountryName(0) ;
switch ($country) {
   case "Canada" :
        echo '<a target="_blank" href="http://www.affiliate.com/fs-bin/click?id=referrer_ID"><IMG alt="Canadian Banner" border="0" src="http://images.affiliate.com/outsidebanners/Homepage-120X600.gif"></a><IMG border="0" width="1" height="1" src="http://ad.affiliate.com/fs-bin/show?id=referrer_ID">';
        break;
   default :
        echo '<a target="_blank" href="http://www.affiliate.com/fs-bin/click?id=referrer_ID"><IMG alt="American Banner" border="0" src="http://images.affiliate.com/outsidebanners/Homepage-120X600.gif"></a><IMG border="0" width="1" height="1" src="http://ad.affiliate.com/fs-bin/show?id=referrer_ID">';
}
?>

Hi Zap,

I'll be interested to know how to identify the visitor's country in the script though.
Is that a plugin somewhere we can download?

Check: http://www.ip2nation.com/ (there are some samples how to use it). And also there is the WordPress Ip2Nation plugin: http://planetozh.com/blog/2004/08/ip-to-nation-plugin/.

You can also use inline php:

Code:

<?php
$country = wp_ozh_getCountryName(0) ;
switch ($country) {
   case "Canada" :
?>
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.affiliate.com/fs-bin/click?id=referrer_ID"><IMG alt="Canadian Banner" border="0" src="http://images.affiliate.com/outsidebanners/Homepage-120X600.gif"></a><IMG border="0" width="1" height="1" src="http://ad.affiliate.com/fs-bin/show?id=referrer_ID">;
<?php
        break;
   default :
?>
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.affiliate.com/fs-bin/click?id=referrer_ID"><IMG alt="American Banner" border="0" src="http://images.affiliate.com/outsidebanners/Homepage-120X600.gif"></a><IMG border="0" width="1" height="1" src="http://ad.affiliate.com/fs-bin/show?id=referrer_ID">;

<?php
}
?>
