Hey, can anyone link me to an easily understood php include tutorial, how to target it =)

[ZAG]

What do you mean, how to target it?

[Dentafrice1]

<?php
include "file.php";
?>


OR



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


Or



<?php
include 'file.php';
?>


Or



<?
include "file.php";
?>


or


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



<?
include 'file.php';
?>


or



<?
$page = file_get_contents($page);
echo $page;
?>

Lol, one way would of been good enough :P

I know I was just bored and wanted to show all the ways to include something :P

Denta, I know how to include a file but how to target the include like so when you click on 'News' the include changes from including the main to 'news'

[Isolde]

google it ?

You could just use the $_GET function



<?php

$page = $_GET['page'];

switch($page){

default:
include('main.html');
break;

case "news":
include('news.html');
break;
}

?>


If i understood you, thats what you mean.
You'd go to

index.php?page=news
to load news.html

or just index.php
to load main.html

If you mean change the included page without page load, you'd have to use AJAX.

yeah, that's it, thomas :) thanks! would I have to edit any of that code?

[ZAG]

Well you'd obviously have to put it in the right part of your layout code and to add another page to it you would change it to:



<?php

$page = $_GET['page'];

switch($page){

default:
include('main.html');
break;

case "news":
include('news.html');
break;

case "anotherpage":
include("anotherpage.html");
break;
}

?>
