includes and id numbers

ElectricRain

ok so, im working on a site based entirely on php includes.
Aka a homepage with a endless list of these

else if($_GET['p']=="userdelpage")
     {
           include("userdelpage.php");
     }

What Im trying to do is allow a user to delete a page from a database, right? So before I was passing the page ID to the page with the delete code on by pasting it in the page title-

"<A HREF='page.php?delpage=".$row[2]."'>

Problem is, that the homepage doesnt recognise delpage1 or deppage2 as a valid include. Is there some way I can tell it to include delpageN ie N being any number?

Simple, make your link:

<?php
$page = $row[2];
?>
<a href="page.php?p=userdelpage&page=<?= $page; ?>">Delete page <?= $page; ?></a>

Remember that any file you include can also read the $_GET superglobal, thats whats so super about it, you can get it anywhere 🙂

Hope it helps

Hmm. nothing happened. =/ or rather the same thing happened- it wouldnt include the userdelpage include. 🙁

camowel

check that the file's name matches the name of the file your trying to include

I'm in agreement with camowel, but if you provide more information maybe we can help you solve this. It should be simple really. There's probably just a small error somewhere. Whether it pay the passing/receiving of the variable or the code that handles it. You tell us what we need to know, we'll help you fix it. 🙂

ok well the file i want to include is called userdelpage.php
and yes its uploaded to the same dir.

echo "<td><A HREF='home.php?p=userdelpage=".$page."'>Delete?".$page."</A></td>";

Heres the link. I set it up with the dots rather than the <? php tags because i was already in php, thats right yea?

and here

else if($_GET['p']=="userdelpage"){
			include("userdelpage.php");
			}

is the link that Im using on my homepage so as it knows what file to include.

What happens is that the address bar says home.php?p=userdelpage1 (or some number) but the include that loads is the default one, so the problem has to be that its not recognising the include, n i think that is because the page address has a number in it, whereas in the link on the homepage(last piece of php above) ive told it to include the file userdelpage without a number.

Ok, here was what I was thinking

You should be passing 2 $_GET variables, not just 1

p=userdelpage
and
page=2

so to do that, your url will look something like:

home.php?p=userdelpage&page=2

The thing your missing is the '&' between the two variables

so $GET['p'] would be 'userdelpage'
and $GET['page'] would be '2'

in your delete script, you would have somewhere to delete the page with the id=$_GET['page']

Hope it helps 🙂

I didnt realise ya could do that- include more than one var with a and like that.
