Hey, I want to use PHP includes for the content on my site, but how would I go about this? I want it so when you press the link saying "Home" for example, I would click it and then in the content box it'd change to the homepage text.

If you didn't undertstand that, I want it so it's like an iframe, where you click the link and it gets the iframes info and puts it in the content section, jut with php includes.

It's sorta hard to explain xD

Thanks.

Put this code where you want your page to appear:

<?php
$val = $_GET['id'];
$val .= ".php";
$dirty = array("..");
$clean = array("");
$val = str_replace($dirty, $clean, $val);

if (isset($_GET['id'])) {
if (file_exists($val)) {
include "$val";
}
else {
include "404.php";
}
}
else {
include "home.php";
}

// Include this script in your content area
// Run ?id=pagename (without .php) to view a page
?>

That will show either your home.php or error page.
If not, make a home.php

Then your link to show any other pages would be:

http://www.DOMAIN.com/index.php?id=PAGE

Dont put teh .PHP on the end

I dunno if thats what I meant xD

I wanted it so that instead of clicking "news.php" on my site, then it going to a whole new page, I wanted it so when I clicked "news.php" it would open where the old content was. Like an iframe. But with php includes.
I think you're looking for a JavaScript navigation method. (http://habboxforum.com/showpost.php?p=2134274&postcount=9)

Site is team-x-labs.net, PM me.

PM me ;) Or I may have done it by the time your online (doing now).

EDIT: I don't think it is what I mean. Cos, as far as I can tell (I may be wrong), but when you click the link in the nav, it opens the page, loads all the template again, then gets the file you want and puts it in the box where the code goes.

I want it so it loads the template once, then the rest is like iframes. So you click the link and the only thing it does is load the content. Isn't there a way so it says <? include ("file.php") id="name"?> then on the link you make it so it loads over name?

What he wants is like an iframe.. it refreshes without refreshing the page.. but he needs it with PHP includes

JoeComins

11-09-2006, 08:01 PM

Well thats a PHP Include. You are not going to be able to do it any other wa, or atleast not as effective

Javascript.. but he needs it not to refresh like the whole page.. maybe he has a radio on there.. that would refresh the radio?

why not just use an iframe?

JoeComins

11-09-2006, 09:19 PM

It seems that he wants to use an iFrame, but wont.

PHP Includes are far better than iFrames.

And Carl, can you jsut say if Ive explained that well enough?

I know thats what I use anyway

php includes requre page reloading, if you dont want that ifraims the way to go, kinda why there there? nether is better. Each is just better for diffent things. In this case a ifraime would probably be the better choise, but often php include navs are better since people can direct link to page content etc?

Hey guys,

I don't have a radio or anything, its just so the page doesnt take time to reload for people on a slow internet connection.

The reason I don't want to use an iframe is because they don't expand.
Thanks for all your help anyway guys. ;)

Yes like an iframe when it has target="main", so the iframe called main would be replaced with the text. :)

Look, I want it so it's like an iframe. You know when you click an iframe link, it replaces the old content with the other pages content, like that, but using php includes, or something that will expand.

Ryan, the ?page=stuff isn't what I want, unless thats how its done, but I don't see how it helps.

PHP cannot be used to create an effect similar to an IFrame, it's a server-side language, it cannot modify the page once the page has loaded. You'll need to use JavaScript, frames or an IFrame to change the content without having to reload the page.

You've never said about page=blahblah before.

Okay, thanks.

What if people disable javascript =[

Is there any Iframes that expand?

Tom, IFrame stands from Inline Frame its a page opened in the same window, but like another window in that page, they do not expand.
