Page Redirect Ex: index.php?list=admins

[dc2000]

Hey there,

I had this code somewhere but cant find it again so maybe one of you guys can help me out? I'm looking for something that if you goto www.mydomain.com/index.php?list=admins - itll post 'admins.php' on it(not direct it, but add it to the page).. or if i goto index.php?list=contactus - itll post a contactus.php page.. so if anyone knows thatll be great..

better yet, im sorta looking for another script.. where i can goto:
www.mydomain.com/contactus.php?show=dc2000&show=andrew&show=administrator

so when i go there I want it to show dc2000's, andrew's and the admistrators info.. like dc2000 will be under dc2000.php, andrew in andrew.php and administrator in admin.php..

thanks, hopefully someone responds😉

To your first question, first you need to grab the 'list' variable from the query string:

$list = @$_GET['list'] ? $_GET['list'] : "";

Now you can simply use include($list.'.php'); to include the corresponding PHP file.

NOTE: This poses a security risk, as I can manually type in any script I want. Use some validation...

To your second question, if you used the above code, it would probably only be set to the last value in the URL, since you use the same variable name over and over. Two solutions are possible:

1. Split $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] on the "&" character, and you'll have each individual show=xxx command. Then use a foreach() loop to loop through the array and include each file.

2. Use DIFFERENT variable names each time, then copy the above code the corresponding number of times, i.e. "show=admin&show2=cp&show3=profile&show4..."

hey thanks for the quick reply..

how would I use this stuff in action? is it to much trouble to ask for you to write out a little script that I can just slap on or edit a bit..

thanks in advance!
you made my day - its been buggin me for weeks now

Assuming you've put all your scripts in a folder called "content" that is in the same location of the script, i.e.:

/your/path/here/index.php?view=rules
/your/path/here/content/rules.php

and so on, then you can use the following code:

<?PHP
$param = 'view'; // This is the "?view=" part. change to suit your needs

$path = 'content/'; // Path relative to current script to look for includes.
                    // NOTE: Must have trailing slash 'path/to/scripts/', etc.
                    // NOTE: If scripts are in current directory, use $path = '';

if(!empty($_GET[$param])) {

if(eregi(',', $_GET[$param])) { 

	$files = explode(",", $_GET[$param]);

	foreach($files as $filename) {
		if(dirname(realpath($path.$filename.'.php')) == realpath(dirname($_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED']) . '/' . rtrim($path, '/'))) include_once($path.$filename.'.php');	
	}

} else if(dirname(realpath($path.$_GET[$param].'.php')) == realpath(dirname($_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED']) . '/' . rtrim($path, '/'))) include_once($path.$_GET[$param].'.php');

} else {

// This is where you would tell the script what to do if there is no "?view="

}
?>

With this script, you can either use "?view=rules" and it will inclue "content/rules.php", or you can use multiple scripts separated by a comma, i.e. "?view=header,rules,footer" and it will call each, in the order given.

NOTE: This script has been tested. If you have any problems or questions, feel free to reply.

ok i got it but insted of calling from the dir "content" or whatever, what if i wanna call from multiply dir ?

i wanna call music index file from mydomain.com/music and mydomain.com/mp3

domain.com/index.php?view=music
domain.com/index.php?view=mp3

how's that possible?

[bradgrafelman]

I do believe the following code will work. When I get time, I'll fully test it. If it doesn't just post the errors.

<?PHP 
$param = 'view'; // This is the "?view=" part. change to suit your needs 

$path = ((@eregi('/', @$_GET[$param])) ? dirname(@$_GET[$param]) : 'content/'); 
					// Path relative to current script to look for includes. 
                    // NOTE: Must have trailing slash 'path/to/scripts/', etc. 
                    // NOTE: If scripts are in current directory, use $path = '';

if(!empty($_GET[$param])) { 

if(eregi(',', $_GET[$param])) {  

    $files = explode(",", $_GET[$param]); 

    foreach($files as $filename) {
		$path = ((@eregi('/', $filename)) ? dirname($filename) : $path);
        $filename = basename($filename);
        if(dirname(realpath($path.$filename.'.php')) == realpath(dirname($_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED']) . '/' . rtrim($path, '/'))) include_once($path.$filename.'.php');     
    } 

} else if(dirname(realpath($path.basename($_GET[$param]).'.php')) == realpath(dirname($_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED']) . '/' . rtrim($path, '/'))) include_once($path.basename($_GET[$param]).'.php'); 

} else { 

// This is where you would tell the script what to do if there is no "?view=" 

} 
?> 

NOTE: This code is currently untested.

ok on link what string do i call? i mean on "href"

[bradgrafelman]

Woops, forgot to explain that.

It works like the previous script:

if you pass "?view=rules,test", then it opens "content/rules.php" and "content/test.php".

You can now specify directories though: "?view=/mp3/index"

You can also specify many (comma-separated) directories: "?view=/mp3/index,/music/list,/etc/etc"

You can also mix the two: "?view=rules,test,/mp3/index,/music/list,/etc/etc"

EDIT: Don't forget to double-check your path's in the link. If you run this script from "mydomain.com/test/view.php?view=mp3/index", then the script will try to open "mydomain.com/test/mp3/index.php" since you omitted the first slash; "mydomain.com/test/view.php?view=/mp3/index" would try to open "mydomain.com/mp3/index.php".

ok i think you forgot something umm i get this error...b/c i dnt wanna call from from "Content" folder 🙁

Warning: main(content/music.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/username/public_html/test.php on line 21

Warning: main(): Failed opening 'content/music.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home2/username/public_html/test.php on line 21

umm i wont put files in dir "content" i want to put each index in different folder example

Blue= if u go to mydomain.com/blue u see blue index ryte

and i want to call blue index file 🙂 from blue folder 🙂...that's y i said i wanna call up "Multi" folder..insted of calling all of them from "content" i want to call them from each folder ...u got me? now? 🙂 i kinda suk at explaning alwayz 🙁

[bradgrafelman]

That's exactly what I modified the script to do.

Show me the URL you're using in the HTML "<A HREF=" tag.

[MasumX]

i did this 🙂

<p><a href="?view=music">Test</a></p>

[bradgrafelman]

Read my instructions on using the script!

If you want to link to "/music/index.php" (YOU MUST GIVE THE SCRIPT A FILE NAME NOT JUST A DIRECTORY), then the link would be:

"?view=/music/index.php"

[MasumX]

hmm but isnt it possible to call from music folder just the index and view as mydomain.com/index.php?view=music and it will bring up the music index? insted of showing as

mydomain.com/index.php?view=/music/index.php?

n btw take a look at..

[bradgrafelman]

I'm about to go eat supper. It looks as though my code is buggy and contains errors.

hmm but isnt it possible to call from music folder just the index and view as mydomain.com/index.php?view=music and it will bring up the music index? insted of showing as

mydomain.com/index.php?view=/music/index.php?

That could easily be done using an entirely different, simpler approach. Is this what you've wanted all along? Is this all you're going to be using the script for? I.E. hard-coding different page ID's "music,list,rules,help" etc. into the PHP script and telling it where to go for each? If so, please let me know.

[MasumX]

yes 🙂 and i want to add both this and the other script together 🙂 by the way let's do one thing at a time shall we? lets get over with umm the skin selection things first and we will get back here after we are done with that 🙂? if thats ok with u....

[bradgrafelman]

Alrighty. Sorry -- I usually try to keep a few threads active as my workload, I can imagine on the receiving end it might get a bit confusing/tiresome switching back and forth 😛

When we return to this issue, tell me this: for the ones you wish to hard-code, could we use a different variable? I.E. if you want the script to literally open a file from a path you give it, keep using the "?view=test,test3", BUT if you want to use keywords that you set up, use a variable such as "?id=music" etc.?

[MasumX]

ya just like the other one...except this time..use link up...not drop down 😛 🙂 ...call up from dir with that path 😃

[bradgrafelman]

This script will be a lot like the last one I just wrote...

<?PHP
$view = ((@$_GET['view']) ? $_GET['view'] : '');

switch($view) {

// NOTE: I did the first one 'music' as an example.
// YOu can copy and paste one of the 'case's and change what's in the quotes to suit your needs.

case "music":

	require_once('/music/index.php');
	break;

case "chat":

	require_once('/chat/index.php');
	break;

default:
	// in here, put what page to load if $view doesn't match one of the ones above
	break;
}
?>

EDIT: There was an error in the above code, but it has been corrected.

[MasumX]

hey, can you help me to put this n the other one together? so i can use them both in index.php? cuz im unable to do so ryte now 🙁 so if u can help me out ok. thanks in advanced!

[bradgrafelman]

I'm not understanding what you're asking.

What other one, you mean the "?view=" where it loaded the file from the path you specified?
