include functions (it hurts this way)

rodica40

Hallo,
here is my problem....

I have a site who has, 150 pages (html) wich are often changing (the content).OK I made a header.php,a footer.php,and an index.php files. Now how should I proceed to get the hml. without using a Mysql? or should a include the header and the footer in each html....?
is there a solution about this? thanks 😃

here is my index.php:

<?php
switch ($id)
{
case 1: include ("bgb_358_alt_0.htm"); break;
case 2: include ("plitt_nuen.htm"); break;
case 3: include ("plitt_bamb.htm"); break;
case 4: include ("plitt_erlan.htm"); break;
case 5: include ("plitt_nuen.htm"); break;
case 6: include ("oeff-Recht/oe-schachtie-zitate-hitliste.html"); break;
case 7: include ("oeff-Recht/Verfassungsrecht/Staatsgrundlagen/oe-kant-text.html"); break;
case 8: include ("oeff-Recht/Verfassungsrecht/Staatsgrundlagen/oe-vertrauensschutz-text.html"); break;
default: include("main1.php"); break;
}
?>
<?php include("footer.php"); ?>

please help!

You wont be able to include the header/footer.php in the htm files if they have the .htm/l extension because the server won't parse for php tags unless the file extension is .php or possibly .php3 - I think you are right to use the index.php and pull the page content through there in between the header/footer include statements. I'm not sure which function u need to grab the html from the pages and include it into the index.php but u could start by looking at fread() in the php manual (http://php.net)

the thing is that I have more then 150 pages and the layout is made from tables,right, so what I need is that in this center table of the page i want those 150 pages to apear and the rest of the layout to remain.( stay)
for this I used the include function for all those pages ( include header, footer) but still does not get I want.thanks

Goto http://php.net/fread and look for yourself, but here is what you need (I think). In the file test.php I put:

// get contents of a file into a string
$filename = "./testing.htm";
$handle = fopen ($filename, "r");
$contents = fread ($handle, filesize ($filename));
fclose ($handle);

Then echo $contents into the table cell you want it displayed:

<table width="620" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td width="129" rowspan="2"><a href="#">menu here</a></td>
<td width="483"><h2>header here</h></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><? echo $contents; ?></td>
</tr>
</table>

In the file 'testing.htm' is :

<h>Some html:</h><br>
In here we have loads of <b>HTML</b> Text.<br>
Some of it <u>Underlined</u>, some of it <i>Italicised</i>.<br>

You can see the result here but not for long 😃
Hope that helps.

I don't understand why you are using a switch statement to bring in include files (need more explanation why you are doing this).

I would do something like this:

header.php

<table>
<tr><td>whatever</td></tr>
</table>

footer.php

<table>
<tr><td>whatever</td></tr>
</table>

File1.php

require_once("header.php");

<table>
<tr><td>whatever stuff goes here for file 1</td></tr>
</table>

require_once("footer.php");

.
.
.

File150.php

require_once("header.php");

<table>
<tr><td>whatever stuff goes here for file 150</td></tr>
</table>

require_once("footer.php");

thanks for your help, I really do but let's see if I got this straight

take a look(if you please) at www.salomonia.info
and you see it is all made by tables.
ok the layout is all you can see except the main table.If click on Gesetzestexte – Auswahl-Beispiele under the picture (the first link) will take you at a second file (content.php) wich has the same layout but diffrent stuff in the main table (center)

ok, now the rest of my 150 files( html) I want them to be included into this main table( when I click on the links). Get my dilema?

thanks again, I will try your solutions and see what happens
