Having a variable problem

8ride

I am working on my online portfolio right now and I am making it so the links to the different sections carry the $Page variable which is used to call up the correct header image
ie. www.jeffbradley.ca/header_Web_Pages.gif

the link would look like this
http://www.jeffbradley.ca/Web_Pages.php?Page=Web_Pages

this is the code that calls the header

<?
if ($Page) {

print ("<img src=\"header_$Page.gif\" width=\"520\" height=\"92\" border=\"0\">");
} else {

print ("<img src=\"header_Profile.gif\" width=\"520\" height=\"92\" border=\"0\">");
}
?>

The main page is my Profile, if there was no $Page variable carried (if you just went to www.jeffbradley.ca) it will display the header_Profile.gif

You can see the problem I am having right now here

I've talked to my server provider and he claims that global variable are enabled.

Also, ignore the links on the bottom, they do not work.

It looks like the only problem you have is that the error_reporting on your server is set to display Notices, which means it will kind of tap on your finger if PHP thinks you could have done something better... but it's not an actual error.

The solution would be to simply turn off the Notice report with a line like this on the top of every script:

error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

Try that, it should work.

Ok thanks, that solved the error problem. But still I cannot get it to pass the page variable

Entering http://www.jeffbradley.ca/index.php?Page=Animation should have the animation header but it just gets the profile header.

Hmm,
if your code is like you posted it, it should work. I think you should not trust your system admin and try to use $GET:

<?
if ($_GET['Page']) {

print ("<img src=\"header_$_GET['Page'].gif\" width=\"520\" height=\"92\" border=\"0\">");
} else {

print ("<img src=\"header_Profile.gif\" width=\"520\" height=\"92\" border=\"0\">");
}
?>

I am not sure about your quoting, it probably works, but I would use it like this, I think it's easier:

<?
if ($_GET['Page']) {

print '<img src="header_'.$_GET['Page'].gif.'" width="520" height="92" border="0">';
} else {

print '<img src="header_Profile.gif" width="520" height="92" border="0">';
}
?>

or, to confuse you a little more 🆒 , this is nice and simple too:

<?php if ($_GET['Page']) { ?>
<img src="header_<? print $_GET['Page'].gif; ?>" width="520" height="92" border="0">
<?php } else { ?>
<img src="header_Profile.gif" width="520" height="92" border="0">
<?php } ?>

Ok I tried all 3 of the codes you gave me and the 2nd one came closest to making it work. Here's the problem it left

http://www.jeffbradley.ca/index.php?Page=Animation

It never put the . into .gif as you can see when you go to image properties. I have left the error message on just in case it helps

this is the code I used


<?
if ($_GET['Page']) {

print '<img src="header_'.$_GET['Page'].gif.'" width="520" height="92" border="0">';
} else {

print '<img src="header_Profile.gif" width="520" height="92" border="0">';
}
?>

Ahhh nevermind I just figured it out.
I just had to move the .' infront of the .gif

print '<img src="header'.$GET['Page'].'.gif" width="520" height="92" border="0">';

Thank you so much for your help drtebi!!

Ok I have another very similar problem. I am trying to do the same thing only now for page content using a require function.

Here is what the code looks like

	<?php
	error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
	if ($_GET['Page']) {
	require (''.$_GET['Page'].'.php');
	} else {
	require ("Profile.php");
}

?>

Here's what I get http://www.jeffbradley.ca/test/index.php

I have only Created Animation.php and Profile.php

Ahh nevermind I somehow got it to work??
