hiding html elements using php

Hi. I am being asked to hide some html elements, the sidebar, depending on the page: not found page, login and register. i only managed to hide them in the not found page. Can someone help me?

My code so far looks like this: index.php

<?php

require_once 'application/init.php';

$TEMPLATE_VARS = array( 'pageNotFound' => false );

$page = isset($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : 'home';

$pagePath = APP_PATH . 'pages/' . $page . '.php';

if (file_exists($pagePath)) { require_once $pagePath; } else { $TEMPLATE_VARS['templatePath'] = APP_PATH . 'templates/components/not_found.php'; $TEMPLATE_VARS['pageNotFound'] = true; }

require_once APP_PATH . 'templates/components/main.php';

main.php

<body>
    <div class="wrap">
       <?php require_once 'header.php'; ?>

       <div class="content">
           <main>
              <?php require_once $TEMPLATE_VARS['templatePath']; ?>
           </main>

           <?php 
           if(!$TEMPLATE_VARS['pageNotFound']) {
           require_once 'aside.php'; 
           }
           ?>

           <div class="clear"></div>
       </div>
   </div>

    <?php require_once 'footer.php';?>
</body>
