Forum Subject: PHP in Header Template

I am trying to use the following in the header template:
<?php
if($REQUEST_URI=="/quantum/"
{
echo ('<meta http-equiv=\'Page-Enter\' content=\'blendTrans(Duration=2.0)\'>');
}
?>
The function successfully runs when placed in the body of the page but not in header.thtml. It only fails when looking for an equivalency. If I set the function to != then I get the echo string.
Any ideas how to get this to work? I only want the meta tag to show in the homepage, not in any of the subsequent pages.
Thanks!

Well, I couldn't find a solution to evaluating HTTP variables in the header
template. I think because the header is called by PHP not by the client,
so no HTTP info is passed to the template.
I did find a workaround by putting an IF-ELSE statement in the
COM_siteHeader in lib.common. By passing 'none' to the
COM_siteHeader call like so: $display .= COM_siteHeader('','none'); the
MetaTag string gets written to the header only on those pages I want.
Thanks to Tony, Mark et.al. for a nice modular design! I am just
beginning to fathom how flexible Geeklog's design is.
Kudos!
