Hello, Heres my problem when viewing index.php the home.php is included if I click a link to say bio it goes to index.php?id=bio_gunn and instead of including gunn.php it includes home.php Could anyone tell me what I did wrong? I think it has to do with the $links and $url arrays?
<?php
$links = array( 'bio_gunn' );
$url = array( '/home/crewdog/public_html/site/bio/gunn.php' );
// if id is submitted in URL, $id is = this value $_GET['id']
// else $id = false
$id = isset($_GET['id']) ? $_GET['id'] : false;
if( $id === false )){
include( '/home/crewdog/public_html/site/home.php' );
}
else
{
for($i=0; i<count($links); $i++)
{
if( $id == $links[$i] )
{
include( $url[$i] );
break;
}
}
}
?>
We use $_GET['var_name'] to get the value of:
-> index.php?var_name=value
And please, use <?php !!!
Using <? can get youinto troubles in the future,
if you try to run your code in some other web server Many servers will not allow 'short_tags'!!!
This is something how I would do the same.
A little drawback with my script below is:
Will not display info: Page not found. Instead it will only load 'default' page.
But of course script can be modified to do this.
<?php
/* script by phpBuddy 2007
Will include page id in requested in URL, in a link like:
<a href="index.php?id=contact">Contact Me</a>
If no id, then will use the 'default' page for include
*/
$default = 'home'; // default page
$my_pages = array(
// key=id value=page
'home' => 'home.php',
'gunn' => 'gunn.php',
'contact' => '/home/crewdog/public_html/site/bio/contact.php',
'about' => '/home/crewdog/public_html/site/bio/about.php',
);
// See if we have a default page file
if(!isset($my_pages[$default]) || !is_file($my_pages[$default])){
exit('ERROR: default page file does not exist');
}
// If in URL id=$_GET, else id=default
$id = isset($_GET['id'])? $_GET['id'] : $default;
// See if key=id exists and there is such file. If not use: $my_pages[$default]
$page = array_key_exists($id,$my_pages) && is_file($my_pages[$id]) ? $my_pages[$id] : $my_pages[$default];
// Using 'require' we get an error if file can not be included
require($page);
?>
