Colour changing help please!

Anon

Ok, I'm a complete PHP Newbie and i'm sure u'll realise this with what i'm about to ask.

Ok, i have links along the side to change the colours of the page...
ATM i have each of the colour schemes in there own files in /schemes/ (ie: /schemes/yellow.inc).

Each colour scheme is like this (filled out ofcourse):

<?
$header = "<img src=>";
$t1 = "#";
$t2 = "#";
?>

How would I make the links so it changes this?

If the script requires me to change the link to something like index.php?scheme=yellow
will it still work as I have 1 already that does ?page=index (etc...)

Thanks!!

Yep. It is a little complicated, but I can start you off with at least something.

Your current links are like index.php?page=foo , correct? The coding inside the index.php should be similar to this: <? if (!$page) { $page="abc"; } include("$page.php"); ?>

If that is correct, then read on.
There is two steps for doing this. The first step is very simple. All you would need to do to your links is add &scheme=yellow.
Example: http://www.foo.com/index.php?page=foo&scheme=yellow

The second step would be to add another value in your coding at index.php
Like: <? if (!$page) { $page="abc"; } include("$page.php");
if (!$scheme) { $scheme="abc"; } include("/schemes/$scheme.inc");?>

I think some way of that would work. My method is just an idea, you need to think of the rest ; )

Umm.. well, i thought it did.. 🙁
Didn't test it extensivly enough..
Ok, here's the situation:

I have this at the top of the document (above header and body but under cookie):

<? if (!$scheme) { $scheme="yellow"; } include("schemes/$scheme.inc"); ?>

And i have this in the body:

<? if (!$page) { $page="error"; } include("$page.inc"); ?>

The problem i have is that if i got /test.php?scheme=red&page=about
and then click on the link to main (which is test.php?page=index)
It defaults back to the default colour scheme i set (yellow)...
how would i get these 2 to work together?

Thanks!
