heading

minds_gifts

Hola,

I hope somebody will help me in figuring out a solution for my problem.

In the following url,

http://www.sarath.iwebland.com

you can see "Courses".when you click on it, you get "Major subjects" listed and when you click on the first one, communication engineering, some information is displayed.
Here on this page, you can notice, there is a heading with a back ground image and on the left side, there is "courses" and on the right side there is "back" which gets you to the previous page.

I strictly did this one using simple HTML.I'm implementing a similar example using PHP and mysql, where I'm listing some topics(Ex:courses) and when you click on a topic, you show some sub-topics(Ex:major subjects) along with articles(ex: communication engineering) and when you click on articles you show their text(a file name is stored in the table)

Here how my article table looks like

article_id topic_id subtopic_id article_name article_content
1 1 1 communicationengineering info.html


<?php 
    include "../dbconnection.dam"; 
?> 

<html> 
<head> 
<title>mypage</title> 
</head> 
<body> 

<? 
    $select_query = "SELECT ARTIKEL_NAME, ARTIKEL_CONTENT FROM artikel where subtopic_id = 1 ORDER BY ARTIKEL_ID DESC"; 
    $result = mysql_query($select_query); 
    $numrows = mysql_num_rows($result); 
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) 
    { 
?> 
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" width="275"> 

  <tr> 
      <td width="280">&nbsp; 

<? 
    echo "<a href='".$row[ARTIKEL_CONTENT]."'>".$row[ARTIKEL_NAME]."</a>"; 
?> 

 </td> 
  </tr> 
</table> 
<? 
    } 
?> 
</body> 
</html>

So, the above code shows all the article names and when we click on each article, its file is shown.

Now, i want to show the heading on my article content.How can i do that??

Please help me.

Sorry for the lengthy post.

If the heading is in the same table just add the heading to the query and retrieve it the same as the other fields.

The heading is'nt in the table.I want to make it display in each article content.

well, how the display is going on...

There are some topics,under which there are sub-topics and you have articles under each sub-topic.

So, when you click on a topic name, the sub-topic name and the corresponding article names are displayed.When, you click on the article name, the article text(content) is shown.On every article content, i want to place a heading which I've shown in my heading.How can i do this one??

Thanks everybody.

What u can do is Just add a field named "ARTICLE_HEAD" in articel table. Fatch that field and pass it as a Query String along with the path of ur ARTICLE_CONTENT.

select ARTICLE_CONTENT, ARTICLE_NAME, ARTICLE_HEAD from...........

then

print("<A HREF='".$Article_content."?Head=". $Article_Head . "'>$Article_Name</A>");

and then get $Head on ur content file and just print it in the header.

Mehta,

Not a great idea in deed.

I dont want to add anything in the content file becuase there are people who just make articles and give to the admin.The admin just inserts into the table and my self will have to show it on the form.

well, with out touching the content file, can i do it in the file which show me the article names??

thanks once again

Hello,

Thanks.But, this url gives you an idea what exactly what I'm trying to do.But, this is purely html.I'm trying to do all this in PHP.

http://www.sarath.iwebland.com

Courses is a topic name.Major subjects is a subtopic name.Communication engineering is a article name and when you click on comm.engg, you see a text displaying with a heading which has brown background and on it stating "courses" on the left side and "back".I just want to put this heading automatically when i click any article name corresponding to that particular topic.

What I'm doing is
1 - Get all the topic names from the table on the navigation bar.
2 - Click on a topic name and show the sub-topic name and below that show all the article names corresponding to the sub-topic.Click on the article name and show the article content.

How my table structure looks like:

1.topic(topic_id, topic_name)
2.subtopic(subtopic_id, topic_id, subtopic_name)
3.article(article_id, topic_id, subtopic_id, article_name, article_content)

Let me give one example:
topic_id : 1
topic_name : courses
subtopic_id : 1
subtopic_name : main subjects
article_id : 1
article_name : communication engineering
article_content : text1.html

So, now text1.html file will display when you click on communication engineering.

"STRICTLY, I DONT WANT TO PLACE THIS HEADING IN THE TEXT1. FILE BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY ARTICLE NAMES AND I WANT TO SHOW THE HEADING AUTOMATICALLY ON THE ARTICLE CONTENT WHEN I CLICK ON ANY ARTICLE NAME CORRESPONDING TO THAT TOPIC".

I want to implement the same heading as i showed in the above url.

Any ideas please

Thanks everybody.
