I changed:
languagefile_en.php
$GLOBALS['xxClkPrd']='Please click on a category to view products.';
to
includes.php
$GLOBALS['xxClkPrd']='Browse Fasteners by Category';
This works fine.
My next objective was to append the "Category Name" variable:
$GLOBALS['xxClkPrd']='Browse Fasteners by Category - <?php print $catname; ?>';
However, nothing after the hyphen displays.
Is there a method/solution for accomplishing this?

Hi, I wonder if it would work something like this.
$GLOBALS['xxClkPrd']='Browse Fasteners by Category - '$catname;
or
$GLOBALS['xxClkPrd']='Browse Fasteners by Category - 'print $catname;

Thank you for the suggestions.
Unfortunately both caused the entire page to fail.
In my further investigation on this (if I understand what am reading) there's some problem with declaring a variable within an include and that it first needs to be made a global.
While I have some knowledge of PHP, this level of coding is beyond my skill set.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I am not a PHP expert, but might the spaces and period be necessary?
$GLOBALS['xxClkPrd']='Browse Fasteners by Category - ' . $catname;
or
$GLOBALS['xxClkPrd']='Browse Fasteners by Category - ' . print $catname;

Thanks Marshall,
$GLOBALS['xxClkPrd']='Browse Fasteners by Category - ' . $catname;
output nothing after the hyphen
$GLOBALS['xxClkPrd']='Browse Fasteners by Category - ' . print $catname;
output: Browse Fasteners by Category - 1
Getting closer!

You could probably tackle it another way.
$GLOBALS['xxClkPrd']='Browse Fasteners by Category - <span id="catname"></span>';
Then use javascript in your categories.php page to get that info there.
If you need help with the javascript, I can probably help work it out.

Not sure, but you might want
$GLOBALS['xxClkPrd']='Browse Fasteners by Category - ' . print $sectionname;
You made need a PHP script to call it up, comparing the cat # to the section name.

I have this working on my test site here - https://www.floridasurpluswarehouse.com/dev/categories.php?cat=6
In your includes, this
$GLOBALS['xxClkPrd']='Browse Products by Category - <span id="catname"></span>';
Then in categories.php, right after <?php include "vsadmin/inc/inccategories.php" ?>
this
<script>
if (document.getElementById("catname")) {
document.getElementById("catname").innerHTML = '<?php print $sectionname ?>';
}
</script>

I really appreciate all the suggestions, however I think we are drifting from my original objective.
Am hoping providing live links will better illustrate.
This page is the top-most level of categories:
[url]https://www.ceramicfasteners.com/buy/categories.php[/url]
For this top-most level am fine with nothing after the hyphen in the page heading: "Browse Products by Category -"
+++
In the url above click-on "Alumina - Metric" to drill-down one level to:
[url]https://www.ceramicfasteners.com/buy/categories.php?cat=8[/url]
The original objective from this level down was to display (after the hyphen) the Category Name just clicked.
In this instance appending "Alumina - Metric" after the hyphen in the page heading, so the complete page heading for this page is: Browse Products by Category - Alumina - Metric.
+++
From this point on everything is fine.

Assuming you are using <?php include "vsadmin/inc/metainfo.php" ?> in the <head>, why not forget the $GLOBALS['xxClkPrd']='Browse Fasteners by Category'; and have catmessage not display then hard code in the categories page above <div class="categories">
<h1>Browse Products by Category <?php if(!empty($pagetitle)) {print '-' . $pagetitle;}
else if(!empty($sectionname)) {print '-' . $sectionname;} ?></h1>
I think I have that right. I may have an extra ' in there. Might want to check.

If I EVER expected this to work, Marshall's last post remined me categories.php needed:
<?php include "vsadmin/inc/metainfo.php" ?>
+++ SOLUTION +++++++++++++++++++++
ADDED:
include "vsadmin/db_conn_open.php";
include "vsadmin/inc/metainfo.php";?>
(Immediately after: ob_start();)
REMOVED:
include "vsadmin/db_conn_open.php";
(which appeared farther down in page)
From here on I used dbDave's post: 04/28/2020 : 19:55:04, giving me exactly what I wanted.
Thank you everyone!
