php page

Below is a concept (I'm not a programmer, tho). It's not a code but a concept that hopefully somebody can help modify to help make it work.

<?php // correct anything?
$content = array(

1 => array(
    $page_file => '/dir/welcome.php',
    $page_title => 'title page',
  $page_sidebar => '/dir/path/sidebar.php'
),

   2 => array(
   $page_file => '/otherdir/otherpage.php',
   $page_title => 'title page',
   $page_sidebar => '/dir/about/sidebar.php'
// and so on.
    )
);

$id = (how to refer to numbers above in array? e.g. 1 or 2);

// modify or correct this one or...
$file = isset($content[$id]) ? $content[$id] : '/dir/undercontruct.php';

// or this another way? how to correct this below or above?

if((!isset($_GET["id"])) || (isset($_GET["id"]) && $_GET["id"] == "")) {
  $file = isset($content[$id])
  }

elseif(isset($_GET["id"]) && $_GET["id"] == $id;) {
$content[$id] : '/dir/to/otherpage.php';}
?>

---------------- not modify code below. I'd want these the way they are. -------

In a template page:

[..]
<head>
<title><?PHP echo $page_title; ?></title>
[..]

<div>
<?php include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $page_file; ?>
</div>

Thanks much in advance!

the contents should be:

    1 => array(
        "page_file" => '/dir/welcome.php',
        "page_title" => 'title page',
      "page_sidebar" => '/dir/path/sidebar.php'
    ),
ect...

You can list the $content to build urls...

foreach( $content AS $key=>$value)
{
printf('<a href="index.php?id=%d">%s</a>', $key , $value["page_title"] );
}

How to retrieve the content by $_GET["id"]

$id=isset( $_GET["id"]) ? $_GET["id"] : 1;  // set a default page...

Get all data from $content array based on the $id:

if(array_key_exists($id , $content))
$p=$content[$id];
else
die("page does not exist");

include( $p["page_file"] );
echo $p["page_title"];

Lets read a little:

array()
array_key_exists()
die()
isset()
printf()

Thank you very much! I tested and it works. A minor thing:

How do I do the following concept:

<li><a href="index.php?id=%d" <?php if ($_GET["id"] == $id;) { ?>class="active"<?php } ?>>Link</a></li>

to work with the following:

<ul>
<?php
foreach( $content AS $key=>$value)
{
printf('<li><a href="?id=%d">%s</a></li>', $key , $value["page_title"] );
} 
?>
</ul>

Thanks again. This phpbuilder is a wonderful and helpful community. Thanks to everyone!
