PHP Include , but only certain things

Question

I am using php include to include a header and footer on my web pages. I have a navbar on all the headers and wanted to know if there is a way to have the header.phph not show up some of the nav items on certain pages. For example , people dont need to navigate to the contact page from the contact page so this nav item is not required. Hope someone can assist.

Index.php

<?php 
include('header.php');
?>
<div class="third_bar"> 
    <div class="second_image"> 
    </div> 
    <div class="form">
        <form action= "search.php" method="post"> 
            <input type="text" id="search_bar" placeholder="" value="Search" max length="30" autocomplete="off" onMouseDown="active();" onBlur="inactive();"/><input type="submit" id="search_button" value="Go!"/> 
        </form>  
    </div> 
</div> 

<?php 
include ('footer.php');
?>

Header.php

One simple way to do this is to add conditional on your header.php page.

Say you have a variable at the beginning of each page which contains the page name, for instance on "contactpage.php":

$page = 'contact';

(note there is also a way to get the name of the current page on the $_SERVER superglobal variable)

Then you can conditionnally print your links in the navbar:

<div class="nav_bar"> 
<a href ="#"> About us</a> 
<a href ="#"> Products & Pricing</a> 
<?php if ($page !== 'contact') { ?>
<a href ="contactpage.php"> Contact us</a>
<?php } ?>
<a href ="#"> login</a>
