PHP help

rawisjp

Hey everybody, i need some serious help...

I downloaded the newest version of PHP, I am running Apache1.3x on Windows XP Professional. I set up apapche and php and it seems like the php works fine because some php code works.

My question is, what code would i use to get a page to load in certain section of a table. i have an idea but everything i try doesnt work. this is what i THINK it is

<?php if ($page == "") { include ("page1.php"); } else { include($page); } ?>

i formatted my table and that is what "is supposed to load in that section. For example, if i click on a link "Pics" i want it to load the pics.php in that table w/o loading a whole new webpage. The link for pics is

when i load the page and click on the various links, page1.php always remains in that table section and i cant get pics.php, and audio.php and all my other pages to load.

I hope this all makes sence... thanks for the help guys.

Without loading a whoile new page you would have to use frames or I frames

And you could do a if elseif statement in there

alright, well not loading a new page into it like a frame, but loading the contents of a page into that table. what kind of else if statement?

mystrymaster


if ($_GET[page] == home){
       include 'home.php';
     }
elseif ($_GET[page] == otherPage){
       include 'otherPage.php';
}

and so on or maybe this might work, I am not sure of the exact syntax for it but I think it is something like this


include '$_GET[page]' . '.php';

where the variable in the url = page so the url to link to this page would be

index.php?page=NameOfPageHere

and the includes would have the same name

Make sense?
