Dynamic Website Values!

CatcherOfSouls

So, I'm building a dynamic website at the moment, and I want to be able to get a value from the webpage at the start. But when I use the 'include(pagelink)' at the top, it will integrate the page at the top and not just the values.

Is there anyway of fixing this?

Please explain your question. Be sure to show us the code you're talking about.

<? echo $_SESSION['pagetitle'] ?>
-- some code--
<?php
	$p = $_GET['p'];
	if(!empty($_GET['p'])){
		$pages_dir = 'pages';
		$pages = scandir($pages_dir, 0);
		unset($pages[0], $pages[1]);
		$own = array("home", "post");
		if(in_array($p.'.php', $pages)){
			if($p == 'home' || $p == "post"){
			}else{
				echo "<div class='art-content-layout-row'>";
				echo "<div class='art-layout-cell layout-item-3' style='width: 100%' >";
			}
			include ($pages_dir.'/'.$p.'.php');
			if($p == 'home' || $p == "post"){
			}else{									
				echo "</div></div>";
			}
			}else{
			echo "<div class='art-content-layout-row'>";
				echo "<div class='art-layout-cell layout-item-3' style='width: 100%' >";
				include ($pages_dir.'/404.php');
				echo "</div></div>";
				}					
			}else{
				include ('pages/home.php');
			}
		?>

(Sorry about indenting, bit of a mess!)

So I need to get that value before the code for the dynamic website. '$_SESSION['pagetitle'] would be on the dynamic page but I need it before the long amount of PHP code.

Does that explain it better?

Welcome to the forums. Note that I added [noparse]

...

[/noparse] tags around your code so that it would look like code. 🙂

Probably the "real" solution to your issue is rethinking your application design and refactoring things so that you don't have browser output intertwined with processing and business logic. If that's not feasible for whatever reason (schedule, budget, etc.), if I'm correctly understanding the problem, and ugly kludge would be to buffer output, then discard it after doing the desired include, e.g.:

<?php
ob_start();
include "some_file.php";
ob_end_clean(); // ends buffering and cleans out whatever is in the buffer
// rest of code . . .
?>

But like I said: that's just a band-aid, not a true fix (IMHO).
