# $_SERVER[’SCRIPT_NAME’ issues

 * Hello,
 * I am trying to combine dynamic menus (described so well in the codex) with another
   level of functionality that involves specifying a different php file for each
   top level page (which contain the subpages). Sounds complicated, well here’s 
   an example of how it should look: [http://www.bipcorporate.com](http://www.bipcorporate.com)
 * What I don’t seem to be able to work out is how to specify a specific php rule.
   This is what I’ve worked out so far:
    ` <?php if ($_SERVER[’SCRIPT_NAME’]='/about'){
   include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/nav/about.php'); }  elseif ($_SERVER[’SCRIPT_NAME’]
   ='/contact') { include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/nav/contact.php'); }  else { include(
   TEMPLATEPATH . '/nav/home.php'); }  ?>
 * But it doesn’t work.
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks,
 * Neil

 * i’d try using $_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”] instead of $_SERVER[‘SCRIPT_NAME’].
 * But how does it not work exactly? Does it allways show home.php?

 * Okay, I managed to sort it out, here is the solution:
 *     ```
       <?php
   
         if(stristr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/about')){
                include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/nav/about.php');
         }elseif(stristr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/brands')){
                include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/nav/contact.php');
         }elseif(stristr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/investor')){
                include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/nav/contact.php');
         }elseif(stristr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/careers')){
                include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/nav/contact.php');
         }elseif(stristr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/media')){
                include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/nav/contact.php');
         }elseif(stristr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/contact')){
                include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/nav/contact.php');
         }else{
                include( TEMPLATEPATH . '/nav/home.php');
         } 
   
       ?>
       ```
