I am hoping someone can help me with my prediciment. Basically what I am having trouble with is as follows:
I have created a templated site, with the use of switch statements [shown below]
Anyway, this works fine, accept the person I am doing this for knows little html so what I want to do is be able for him to add new sections easily without doing any HTML, thus the MySQL DB.
I have the navigation in two arrays (below),
What I forgot to mention was basically I have a 404 error handler in the switch so if the sectionName doesn't exist as a case statement, they will be brought to an error 404 page.
So what I have to do is get section names that he enters in the DB to somehow get into the switch statement so that it is a valid section.
But I am stumped what is the best way to do this?? I would be very grateful if someone can help..
Thank you In advance,
Stan
