Urgent help. I DONT WANT FRAMES

unique1tt3

new at building in php. Been doign preaty good so far but a little stuck now. Here is the probem.

I am trying to make it so when a person clicks on a link it loads the page in the center of the page. Now i am using a program called Code Charge. This program splts the HTML and the PHP. So i guess what i am asking is such.

How can i make the links open a page in my iniial index page without using frames. I dont want scroll bars in the middle of my page. I would want the content loaded from the link to make the whole page scroll if needed. I am fine if the page reloads but i just dont want to see scrolling for the page and scrolling for the content

God i sound like a fool. Ever feel like you know what you want to do but cant explain it worth a damn. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated

Hi,
try to look at include() command.

You write your link as
<a href="myhomepage.php?url=link1">link 1</a>
<a href="myhomepage.php?url=link2">link 2</a>
<a href="myhomepage.php?url=link3">link 3</a>

and put in the middle of page just an include($url);

You need also to add a bit of control on value of $url, else everyone can navigate through your site...

(writing myhomepage.php?url="http://www.paymuch.com" on the status bar... for example...)

see you

I would be very careful using the Include tag if the url is set by a GET or POST. Some one could have it grab a page of PHP code to do bad things. But no one would ever do that.

Perhaps something like this would work better.

echo implode("",file($url));

Or you could assign it and then run regex on it, to maybe customize how it appears. (And fix the the <img and <a tags that dont have the url.)

As yet another option, you could do something with Iframes, you can remove the borders and scollbars with options, plus with a little java you could make it fit nice.

This sounds exactly like what I have been searching about for the past 8 hrs. 😉

The only thing is, I am incredibly new at scripting alltogether and after reading through a ton of FAQs and Manuals I think my head is about to explode. Is there a sample script available somewhere or maybe anyone with a little bit of time to explain this some more for someone as dumbfounded as I am atm?

I know there's got to be a way to get the files to go in the main section of the page... every other module loaded in there does it, but I can't figure out what line of code in the modules does the trick.

Thanks in advance for any help.

The command is include ...

This command read the file and echo to the standard output.
So you have a code in each page (for example leftmenu.php), but is written in just one file and without using frame.

<html> <head></head>
<body>
<table>
  <tr><td colspan=2><?=include("mylogo.php")?></td></tr>
  <tr>
    <td><?=include("leftmenu.php")?></td>
    <td><h1>MY PAGE 1</h1>this is the real content...</td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body></html>

<html> <head></head>
<body>
<table>
  <tr><td colspan=2><?=include("mylogo.php")?></td></tr>
  <tr>
    <td><?=include("leftmenu.php")?></td>
    <td><h1>MY PAGE 2</h1>this is the content of page 2...</td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body></html>

I hope this help...
