PHP include for certain URLs via IF statement

    I want to show certain content in my sidebar for certain URLs.

    The following example is for using an include for the homepage, but I can’t get it to work in WordPress:

    <!-- begin homepage ads -->
    <?php
        $homepage = "/";
        $currentpage = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
        if($homepage==$currentpage) {
        include('homepage-ads.php');
        }
    ?>
    <!-- end homepage ads -->

    How would I get it to include a .php file if it’s NOT the homepage?

    Can I set a string of commands, in layman’s terms:

    if is: /page1 , include page1_ads.php
    if is: /green-page , include green-page_ads.php
    if is: /another-page , include another-page_ads.php

    Here you are:

    <?php if (is_page('1')) { include("page1_ads.php"); }

elseif (is_page('green-page')) { include("green-page-ads.php"); }

elseif (is_page('another-page')) { include("another-page-ads.php"); }

else { include("everything-else.php"); 

} ?>

    The final else statement isn’t necessary, though can be handy as a fallback.

    The code above assumes that the ad pages are placed in your theme folder, or wherever the sidebar file is.
