Site Organization with PHP

[[deleted]]

Or you could put them all in a database and fetch them from there.
That is much cleaner than using seperate files, plus you can give your articles nice subjects for displaying in the link and you can offer a search in the content of the articles.

PS shouldn't you open the dir after you checked for "isset($article)"?

This code only prints out all the files in the directory and makas a <href> but it doesn´t tell the PHP that to do with it.

It does show the links but if I click on them nothing happens

I am looking to organize my site with php. Hopefully it will make less coding for me. But the thing I am getting at is: i see a bunch of sites with urls to things such as http://www.mysite.com/articles.php?article2

i wanted to do this with my site. say make my whole article section in one php script, or however this works. can someone give me some insight into this or point me in the direction of a good tutorial?

thanks

Mike

<?

$dir = opendir("/home/user/articles/");
if (!(isset($article)))
{
while ($article = readdir($dir))
{
print("<A HREF='article.php?article=$article'>$article</A><br>");
}
}
else
{
include("/home/user/articles/$article");
}
?>

You could also massage your filename to make it friendlier, like replacing all your "_"'s to spaces, etc, or have textfiles set up as $article-desc.txt and cough those up along with your articles.
