Subject: Need help converting PHP to Ruby / eRuby

Hi,

I am new to Ruby / eRuby templating and need some help converting from
PHP, I have two web pages that do what I need using PHP but I can figure
out how to do the same with Ruby / eRuby templating, could  someone
please have a look and guide me?

What seems to be happening is that the Ruby / eRuby variable? $file is
being set to menu.rhtml while the PHP variable? $file is being set to
index.php, which is what I want the Ruby / eRuby to do also.


## PHP ##


# index.php
# Menu item name is non-link if page name is the same as menu item name,
if not then menu item name is link.

<?php

include("./menu.php");

?>


# menu.php
# Menu item name is non-link if page name is the same as menu item name,
if not then menu item name is link.

<?php

$path = ($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);
$file = basename($path);

if ($file == 'index.php') {
echo 'Home &nbsp;&nbsp;::&nbsp;&nbsp;';
}

else {
echo '<a href="index.php" title="Home">Home</a>
&nbsp;&nbsp;::&nbsp;&nbsp;';
}

?>


## Ruby / eRuby ##

# index.rhtml
# Menu item name is non-link if page name is the same as menu item name,
if not then menu item name is link.

<%

ERuby.import ('./header.rhtml')

%>


# menu.rhtml
# Menu item name is non-link if page name is the same as menu item name,
if not then menu item name is link.

<%

require 'pathname'
path = Pathname.new(__FILE__).realpath.to_s
file = File.basename path

if file == 'index.rhtml'
puts 'Home &nbsp;&nbsp;::&nbsp;&nbsp;'

else
puts '<a href="index.rhtml" title="Home">Home</a>
&nbsp;&nbsp;::&nbsp;&nbsp;'
end

%>
