ryan414

First of all thanks for viewing my thread I'm a complete noob at php but I know html and javascript and I'm a fast learner so please don't take me for an idiot... On my site www.ryanblack.net that I just threw up b/c I haven't had my comp or time to make decent gfx...... I have a nav bar at the top and my index.php is nothing more than 3 requires the header,main,footer a friend of mine www.vegitanet.com has it set up where his page is so for instance www.ryanblack.com/index.php?page=main.php and that be an intro or something... how would I make the links at the top change my middle require or something to have the effect of it inserting that whole page in between the header and footer html??? Thanks again for any help please if u know anything to help me let me know ;-)

<?

$pagename=$_GET['page']; //this calls the name after the "?page="

include 'header.php';
include '$pagename';
include 'footer.php';

?>

HTH,

ryan414

Thanks so so very much for replying to me so quickly :-D

s2r

First you get the GET variables and then use the value of $_GET['page'] in the require statement.

Something like:

mypage = $_GET['page'];
require(mypage);

ryan414

<?php

$pagename=$_GET['page']; //this calls the name after the "?page="

include '/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/ryanblack.net/httpdocs/extra/header.php';
include '$pagename';
include '/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/ryanblack.net/httpdocs/extra/footer.php';

www.ryanblack.net/index.php?page=extra/main.php

is that how I would insert the main.php page that's in the directory extra in that???

ryan414

please visit www.ryanblack.net and see the error I'm using

Hmmm, dunno. I'm not in the habit of calling pages via GET vars....

What does line 26 of your script say now, BTW, as I see a parse error there...check for missing quotes, semicolon, etc. If your stuff is balanced, you might try exchanging one type of quotes for the other, single quotes are a literal, methinks, and don't know what that'd do with the / , might think it was a division sign<?>

You might have to do ?page=main&dir=extra, and then:

require "$dir/$page";

or somesuch....

ryan414

well I'll use anything that will accomplish the same objective... how would u do that
???

I just need the middle section of the page to be dynamic and always change according to links etc...

cgraz

Just a quick note on s2r's post. I think it was supposed to be

$mypage = $_GET['page']; 
require($mypage);

So in your code, you'd need to change

include 'mypage';

include '$mypage';

'$mypage'....gotta have the var symbol....

Just looked again, looks now like it's coming, just some directory manipulation to do....

ryan414

I noticed the $ var symbol thing , sorry I'm a noob.... thanks

I need it to open main.php inside extra how do I do it and what's wrong with it now BTW www.vegitanet.com uses it like this and he's able to do things like http://www.vegitanet.com/anime.php?page=reviews/dragonballz-returnofcooler.html" and such and it works....?

so would it be www.ryanblack.net/index.php?page=/extra/main.php ????

cgraz

Make sure that if there's no value for $mypage, that you load the default (which would usually be an index) or else you'll get an error

http://www.vegitanet.com/anime.php

<?php 

$mypage=$_GET['page']; 
include '/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/ryanblack.net/httpdocs/extra/header.php'; 
if ($mypage == "") {
    include("index_incl.php");
 } else {
include("$mypage");
}
include '/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/ryanblack.net/httpdocs/extra/footer.php'; 

?>

Cgraz

ryan414

does that require any renaming on my part?

ryan414

ahhghgh I'm such a retard I cannont get anything to work?????????? 😕

cgraz

No, all you'd need is a file called index_incl.php in the directory you're in. Just create that file and write hello then upload with the code I gave you and you'll see what it does.

I'm going to bed.
