[wp-hackers] Help with including custom templates using variables

[Gregory Lancaster]

My current code is this:

<?php global $post;
$tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);
foreach ($tags as $tag);{
$tag_name = $tag->name;}
$end =  $tag_name;
?>

 <?php get_template_part('/templates/left-sidebar', $end); ?>
<?php else: ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
      </aside>


      <aside class="sidebar <?php echo roots_sidebar_class(); ?>"
role="complementary">
      <?php if (roots_display_sidebar()) : ?>
        <?php include roots_sidebar_path(); ?>
      <?php endif; ?>
      </aside><!-- /.sidebar -->


So it looks for left-sidebar-(tagname) first and if that php file doesnt
exist, it reverts to the default left-sidebar.php.   How would I change
this to instead load left-sidebar-tag.php and within that file search for
the correct tag to show, and if it does not exist show the default
left-sidebar.php?

I can easily have it call the left-sidebar-tag.php but once its called I
dont know what to put inside that file to determine what should be loaded.
 Maybe something like

<?php global $post;
$tags = wp_get_post_tags($post->ID);
foreach ($tags as $tag);{
$tag_name = $tag->name;}
$end =  $tag_name;
?>

if $end == ($posd->ID);
include  //no idea what it would include, since it would be including a
specific portion of the file only...
