sudhakararaog Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 i need help with accessing the value of a variable from a different page. i have an index.php file which has 2 files included to display header and footer and the center portion changes based on the link clicked on the footer. header.php <?php echo "<h2> Text from header.php file </h2>"; ?> footer.php <?php $title="Title of Footer Page"; ?> <a href="index.php?page=web">Web Development</a> | <a href="index.php?page=software">Software </a> index.php <?php $pagename=$_GET["page"]; $title="Index page of Company name"; ?> <html> <head> <title><?php echo $title; ?> </title> <meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo $keyword; ?>"> <meta name="description" content="<?php echo $pagedescription; ?>"> </head> <body> <?php include("header.php"); ?> <p> </p> <center>This is the text in the center</center> <p> </p> <?php if($pagename=="web") { include("web.php"); } if($pagename=="software") { include("software.php"); } ?> <?php include("footer.php"); ?> </body> </html> whenever i click the links for Web Development or Software which appears from the footer a query string is passed to index.php I am able to display the content of web.php and software.php using the if() condition and include() what i need to display is a different title for web.php and software.php when a user clicks Web Development along with the content i want the title of the page to change for SEO purpose. i have defined $title differently in web.php and software.php however presently the title being displayed for index.php when a user clicks web.php and software.php the title is the same "Index page of Company name" as this is defined in index.php and my title tag is written as <title><?php echo $title; ?> </title> however the title tag remains the same whether i click web development or software link. how change i change the code to display different titles. i am doing this for SEO purpose so that different pages have different titles and meta tags. actually there can be individual files with links to individual pages however the people i am dealing with who developed the website want the header and footer to remain so that a flash file does not have to load each time an individual link is clicked. please advice. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignace Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 what you need is a bootstrap file which acts as a frontController: $page = $_POST['page']; $title = "Default Title"; $file = "index.php"; switch ($page) { case "development": $title = "Development title"; $file = "development.php"; break; default: $title = "Default Title"; $file = "index.php"; break; } if (!file_exists(PAGES_DIR . $file)) { $file = "index.php"; $title = "Default Title"; } include_once "header.php"; include_once PAGES_DIR . $file; include_once "footer.php"; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
