PHP include question

Garyn

Hi,

I restarted my website and uploaded the files that I used about 5 years ago. Except now I get some error http://www.boundkingdom.com/index.php when I access the website. I believe it has to do with the <?php include ("$a"); ?> code that I used for the middle part. Has this been changed on to how I can use that or is it because I changed hosts? And, what do I need to change/fix?

Sorry about posting a thread, I just have grown bad at re-learning PHP in my old(er) age and couldn't understand the new versions.

Thanks!

how you get that $a variable?

I dunno, It was just something I used, which worked, at least back in 2003. Is there another way to do the include with a variable now?

Here is my website without the variable and just straight includes, to give you an idea.
http://www.boundkingdom.com/index2.php

How would I get it so I could load the left bar variables like FAQ, Credits, etc to load in the middle?

My website is running PHP 5.0 now if that helps, too.

its not so secure version! Do not directly has the solotion to include a file with a GET link method.

anyway, you reach that variable from the link with $_GET
4 example

<?php
$inc["blog"]="blog.htm";
$inc["news"]="news.php";
$inc["register"]="register.html";

if(isset($_GET["variable_name"]) AND !empty($inc[$_GET["variable_name"]])    )
include( $inc[$_GET["variable_name"]]);
else
include("main.php"]);

?>

if you want to control which page you need to be include,
switch case is a good way. If you make a link, for example:
http://www.mysite.com/index.php?site=blog
then here is an example to a controlling php program.

<?php

$b="header.php";
$c="footer.php";
$d="navigation_bar.php";

	switch($_GET["site"]){

		case "add_user":
			include("add_user.php");
			//you might have pages that could not have html output
		break;

		case "register_form":
			include($b);
			include($d);
			include("register_form.php");
			include($c);
			break;

		case "news":
			include($b);
			include($d);
			include("news.php");
			include($c);
			break;

		default:
			include($b);
			include($d);
			include("main.php");
			include($c);
		break;
	} // switch

?>

But its a better version, if you make a database, with filenames and site_id -s.
If you like to know this method, i have an example 🙂

Hello,

The second way worked for me and now The main site works, with FAQ, Copyright and Ind working as tests. . but my site has tens of thousands of pages to load/include (like specific chrono trigger maps, etc). I would need to put a case in for each one of those in this way, correct? Is there any easier way that could be a cure-all so the current text would work?

Maybe something like a echo function in the case?

make an array, from the available links, then you can use the direct include, but check first if the visitor allowed to include that page:
here is an example, how to make that array with file names. You can fill this table with

dir *.htm /b >files.txt

maybe this could help.
