[Resolved] ?action help

[ravingcommie]

I'm trying to be clever and make pretty little index.php?action=blog links instead of the bog standard blog.php on my weblog site.

The code I'm using works fine for just the index page, but when anything is added in the ?action part, its included, but the index page is also included underneath, which is ammusing, but not really very usefull

This is the code I'm currently using:

if($action == blog) { 
include_once 'blogs.php' ;
}
if($action == 0) {
include_once 'index2.php' ;
}

Can anyone offer a fix?
Thanks

Why not do something like:

if($action == "blog") { 
	include 'blogs.php' ;
}
else {
	include 'index2.php' ;
}

?

That works... thanks.

I think I really do have to work at learning PHP properly now...

[ravingcommie]

Does that code work if I wanted to do multiple arrays?

Say

<?php 
if ($action == "blog") {  

    include './includes/blogs.php'; 
} 
if ($blog == "1") {
	include './includes/adam.php';
}
if ($blog == "2") {
	include './includes/sima.php';
}
else { 
    include './includes/index2.php'; 
}
?>

Because it works fine singluar, with if and else, but if I want to do multiple if commands it includes index2.php underneath again.

Might make more sense to use:

<?php 
if ($action == "blog") {
	if ($blog == "1") {
	    include './includes/adam.php';
	}
	elseif ($blog == "2") {
	    include './includes/sima.php';
	}
	else {
    	include './includes/blogs.php';
    }
}
else {
    include './includes/index2.php';
}
?>

Thanks

It doesnt seem to fix the problem of any other file being included above the index2.php file

I've put an image file (which is very scrapy) at http://www.bostasp.com/hmmm.gif to explain whats going on a little bit more

I've tried your new bit of code, thanks alot for the help, now i have the problem that the index.php?blog=1 for wont work, but its probably my scrapy html, but index.php?action=blog works.

thanks for the help, all this to make things look "pretty" :rolleyes:

Ah, I presumed you were working with:

index.php?action=blog&blog=1

Since you arent, maybe:

<?php 
if ($action == "blog") {
	include './includes/blogs.php';
}
elseif ($blog == "1") {
	include './includes/adam.php';
}
elseif ($blog == "2") {
	include './includes/sima.php';
}
else {
	include './includes/index2.php';
}
?> 

If the index2.php if still being included when it is not supposed to, then there is some other problem with your script, and I do not have enough information to help you.

Okily Dokily.... thanks alot

It's all working, well at least it seems to be working now. 🙂

I'll go and have a bash at getting separate pages to work within the blog pages now, shouldnt be hard...

thanks again
