How do I include file based on URL folder??? HELP!

grafixmatt

Sorry, I have only beeb coding PHP now for 1 week, and what I am tryign to do is this...

I have a secondarynav.inc file that I am using to swap all secondary nav's at the top of my page. For example, when a user accesses /services/ the main secondarynav.inc file loads the .inc associated to that section.

Here's what I have so far. I haven't added the rest until I can figure out how to at least make the first set work!

<?php
// Services Subnav
if ($URL['http://www.mydomain.com/services'] {
include ($SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/services/include/servicesnav.inc');
}
// Resources Subnav
elseif ($URL['http://www.mydomain.com/resources'] {
include ($SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/resources/include/resourcesnav.inc');
}
// News Subnav
// Testimonials Subnav
// Contact Subnav
// About Subnav
// FAQ's Subnav
// SiteMap Subnav
// Default ELSE Subnav
else {
echo ("This file does not exist!");
}
?>

Any help on this is greatly appreciated. I have searched google/yahoo/phpbuilder, etc for hours and hours and couldn't find anything.

Thanks very much -

ok,but what is the exact problem your having? do you get any error messages? if so, what are they?

what is this supposed to do?
if ($URL['http://www.mydomain.com/services'] {

eah, you need give us more details. But I guess here's what you are looking for:

I assume you have:

<a href="http://www.mydomain.com/services">service</a>
<a href="http://www.mydomain.com/resource">resource</a>
...

and the code you provided is from http://www.mydomain.com/index.php,

Then you should use apache's rewrite module, since that's the way you redirect different urls into one script. If it is the case, put a .htaccess file under your web root and add following rules:

start rewrite

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^service[/]?$ index.php?pass=services [L]
RewriteRule ^{resources[/]?$} index.php?pass=resources [L]
.....
#end of rewrite

Then you can use $_GET[pass] to switch the inclusions

hope it's

Yep, I have the index all set up and my main include folder along with my directory. Basically I have one main include file that I want to store all 7 different nav's in based on the folder/url the user is in (not from). The main include nav file would display the proper include based on that particular area.

So, if the user accesses "http://www.mydomain.com/services" then the main include file (secondarynav.inc) loads the servicesnav.inc. If they go to "http://www.mydomain.com/resources" the main include file, again, loads the include nav for that area in this case being resourcesnav.inc.

I don't recieve any error messages, yet anyways...lol, but the echo seems to be displaying as it should where the included file would be shown. And you had asked "what is this supposed to do? if ($URL['http://www.mydomain.com/services'] {"...basically depending on the url it will include whichever *nav.inc file the user is within no matter how deep of levels. Thx for your help, I really appreciate it very much -
