You don't need to embed php in the template. You put the php code in
config.php instead. I just did what you are looking for (I think) last
night. It needs some refinement, but it's a start...
In my config.php I have this:
$pagname_split = explode('/', $pagename);
if ($pagename==''
|| $pagename=='Main/HomePage'
|| $pagname_split['0'] == $pagname_split['1']) {
$GroupHdrFmt = "<span id='wikigroupforheader'
title='$[\$Groupspaced Home]'>\$Groupspaced</a></span>";
} else {
$GroupHdrFmt = "<span id='wikigroupforheader'>
<a href='\$ScriptUrl/\$Group'
title='$[\$Groupspaced Home]'>\$Groupspaced</a></span>";
}
In my template I have this:
<div id='headcmdsupper'>
You are in the $GroupHdrFmt section of the site.
</div>
And the CSS:
#wikigroupforheader { font-weight:bold; }
See the page here (site is under development):

IMHO a big drawback to wikis is the fact that so many pages have links
to themselves. This page explains why it's undesirable:
