Hmm.. links and php

[Litninfingers63]

I'm working on something for a friend of mine, and he would like it so when you click a link, one thing shows, if you click on another, another shows. easy enough.

Now, I can do this with a form, and I totally get the concept of doing it, but I'm wondering how to do it with links, if at all possible?

Something like

if (link one is pressed) {
echo "this";
}
elseif (link two is pressed) {
echo "that";
}

But I dont know what I'd put inside of the if(), for a link. Is there any code for that?

Thanks

This may not be what you need, but you were kinda vague with what exactly you needed.

<?

//forward :: previous kindy thingy...yeah...
//call this page.php

$id = $_GET['id'];

if($id == '1'){
echo "<a href='page.php?id=2'>Page 2</a>";
} else {
echo "<a href='page.php?id=1'>Page 1</a>";
}

?>

I think I found what we needed.. something like this:

<ul id="nav">
<li><a href="page.php?id=1" class="active">1</a></li>
<li><a href="page.php?id=2">2</a></li>
<li><a href="page.php?id=3">3</a></li>
</ul>

<?php
if (($id) == "1") {			
     include("inc/1.php");
} elseif (($id) == "2") {	
     include("inc/2.php");
} elseif (($id) == "3") {
     include("inc/3.php");
} else {
     include("inc/4.php");
}
?>

that works for me... next question of the day is how to select the included files as the active class? ie, when 2 (page.php?id=2) is clicked, the selected file is included in and that link class becomes "active" rather then 1 (page.php?id=1)

Hope this is clear 🙂

thanks in advance,

A switch case would be faster for you instead of if/elseif/elseif....if I read you correctly, you're trying to change the link (perhaps highlight it) when it is clicked.

In this case, you could have something like

if ($_GET[id]==1) echo '<b>';
echo 'link code';
if ($_GET[id]==1) echo '</b>';

Awesome 🙂 That's exactly what I need! Makes so much sense 🙂 Thanks a lot.
