Ok then, PHP Help please xD

[tekni]

In my main content div I have this:


<?php include("home.php"); ?>

So, in my nav div, what would code would I have to put if I wanted to open say news.php into the main content div?

+Rep to any helpers.

[RYANNNNN]

Are you using iframes, otherwise you just replace home.php with news.php and save it.

[tekni]

I know how to work iframes, but iframes are crap and should be blown up.

I'm trying to figure out how the hell to use includes.

Here is sommert i wrote: Hope it is what u need!


<?php
// Assign the requested page to a shorter variable for simplicity.

// Check for bad requests. This is necessary to prevent the wrong files
// from being included. This is a security measure.
if (strpos($p,"..")) {
// A bad request has been made, exit immediately. Do not proceed
// with the inclusion.
// strpos($p,"..") checks for presence of ".." in the page request.
// ".." can be used to access files in parent directories
die("Bad page request");
}
// File to include.
// this will be something like '/www/page.php'. If $p is empty, fall back
// main.php. THIS FILE MUST EXIST, otherwise bad things will happen.
if (!$p) $p = "main";
$content_file=$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/".$p.".php";
// See if $content_file exists. If it does not, redirect to the homepage.
if (!file_exists($content_file)) {
header("Location: {$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]}");
exit();
}
// At this point everything is fine. Set the appropriate title and then
// include the files.
// Syntax: $variable = (condition) ? value_if_true : value_if_false;
$title = ($p) ? "$p - My Site!" : "Main page - My Site!";
include("header.php");
include($content_file);
include("footer.php");
?>

Use the easier way, where you get page.php?id=whatever.
I'll try and find you a tut.

[tekni]

Thanks dan.

[Florx]

http://f0rked.com/articles/dynamism go there

[uber]

<?php
switch( $_GET[’id’] )
{
default:
include ‘main.htm’;
break;

case ‘community′ :
include ‘community.htm’;
break;
}
?>

The code is very simple...

You can copy the 3 lines as many times as you wish (the case, include and break) for more pages.

The top one which says deafault it the page you wish to load when the site is loaded.

You can change the bit at the top that says id to whatever you want, it will appear in the url, e.g. index.php?id=community.

Put the code in your content area.

Off topic: 3 pure for your layout?

Because I suck at PHP:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ''' in /home/xvisor/public_html/index.php on line 234

Well heres a quick varient on the code i would usealy use



//Get varible from url
$p = $HTTP_GET_VARS['p'];
//Set page dir and defult
$page_dir = "Pages";
$defult_page = "home";
//if $p aint set, we include home page
if(!$p){ include($page_dir."/".$defult_page.".php"); }
else
{ if(file_exists($page_dir."/".$p.".php")){ include($page_dir."/".$p.".php");} // if the file exists in the directory, we know its real and allowed, so we inclucde it.
else{ include($page_dir."/".$defult_page.".php");} // if its not, its ether a wrong dir or bad hacking attempt, so we include the home page again

[tekni]

Am I bad luck or something:


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/xvisor/public_html/index.php on line 228

$p = $HTTP_GET_VARS['p'];

[Mentor]

The problem has happened before the line of code in question, most likly in your own code you have forgotten to add a ; or have missed a }

[tekni]

I'm forced to use iframes because I suck at PHP.

[Kanker.]

LOL adam <3 Bless. php will work for u one day...

[Florx]

Unlucky :(
