[PHP Includes - Help] Linking.

[Hitman]

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

Thanks.

Hmm.. like index.php?page=balkbjalkj?

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

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.

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?
