[SOLVED] I am new what am I doing wrong?

[mattal999]

Try taking off the:

 

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . 

 

so it looks like:

 

include_once('../fab/includes/template.php');

[Maq]

Try taking off the:

 

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . 

 

so it looks like:

 

include_once('../fab/includes/template.php');

 

Yeah, sorry I didn't know you still had the DOCUMENT_ROOT in there still.  Do what matt suggested, it should work.

[themuffin]

ok so I did that and now get this..

Warning: main(../fab/header.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/s/c/t/sctfaery/html/fab/goal.php on line 7

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '>' in /home/content/s/c/t/sctfaery/html/fab/includes/footer.php on line 4

 

HUH???? I am about ready to give up..I bet you guys are WAY PAST THAT!!!

[mattal999]

Well, we have one success on the bottom of the page: the footer.php page got included. Your footer page also contains coding errors, but you're other pages are not including. Did you change them to ../fab/includes/*.php?

 

Oh, and by the way, my name aint Matt

 

EDIT: Change the includes path's from '/fab/includes/*.php' to 'includes/*.php'

[themuffin]

ok YES i did change them to ../fab/includes/*.php? as per your suggestion..

and the footer got included? how come I can't see it?

 

so I am totally retarded.. and old.. maybe this is all beyond me..

 

I hate to quit.. anything,

but

[mattal999]

Here is some code. Make a new page, paste it in and run it.

 

<?php

include("includes/header.php");
include("includes/main_menu.php");
include("includes/footer.php");
include("includes/template.php");

?>

 

 

[themuffin]

ok..

so

here is the header.php file

<?php

$header .= $page_title;

$header .= "<img src="/images/fab/mini_logor.gif" alt=" Feeling Absolutely Fabulous Logo" />";

?>

 

---

and here is what i get now..

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/content/s/c/t/sctfaery/html/fab/includes/header.php on line 3

[mattal999]

You are closing the string with the quotes contained in the HTML.

 

Here is how it should be:

 

<?php

$header .= $page_title;
$header .= "<img src=\"/images/fab/mini_logor.gif\" alt=\" Feeling Absolutely Fabulous Logo\" />";

echo $header;

?> 

 

 

[themuffin]

ok..better..so look at this

http://feelingabsolutelyfabulous.com/matt.php

 

ok so I messed around a bit more..

 

can I ask one last q?

 

if I want to use that (fixed properly) as a template and want to create the content for the main area..

what is the php statement? to get the files into it?

I hope I worded that right

 

and you freakin' ROCK!!

[mattal999]

template.php:

<?php

include("includes/header.php");
include("includes/main_menu.php");
echo $content;
include("includes/footer.php");
include("includes/template.php");

?>

 

index.php:

<?php

$content = "Your content";

include("includes/template.php");

?>

 

Try that.

 

[themuffin]

thanks so much.. so you know I'm not using a database and wanted to have the content files? I don't know where..

can I save them as _filename_bdy.php or should it be html

 

or how does it know to change the content..

I sound like a dunce..

I did make a set of files for another site using all includes

 

without the template file and then had to make a filename.php and a filenamebody.html

to be included..

 

I am so thankful for all your help...

[tang]

template.php:

<?php

include("includes/header.php");
include("includes/main_menu.php");
echo $content;
include("includes/footer.php");
include("includes/template.php");

?>

 

 

I think you just divided by zero ;-)

 

Should be:

 

<?php

include("includes/header.php");
include("includes/main_menu.php");
echo $content;
include("includes/footer.php");

?>

 

[mattal999]

template.php:

<?php

include("includes/header.php");
include("includes/main_menu.php");
echo $content;
include("includes/footer.php");
include("includes/template.php");

?>

 

 

I think you just divided by zero ;-)

 

Should be:

 

<?php

include("includes/header.php");
include("includes/main_menu.php");
echo $content;
include("includes/footer.php");

?>

It seems I may have just created a black hole...

 

Thanks for pointing that out! Would have wrecked the whole page.

[mattal999]

If I have your question correct, then this should work:

 

template.php:

<?php

include("includes/header.php");
include("includes/main_menu.php");
echo $content;
include("includes/footer.php");

?>

 

index.php:

<?php

$action = $_GET['action'];
if($action == "home") { // Check for the page (in this case, page=home)
$content = file_get_contents("pages/home.php"); // Include the page in the directory 'pages/'
} else {
$content = file_get_contents("pages/home.php");
}

include("includes/template.php");

?>

[themuffin]

very last q I PROMISE!!

and by the way you are a PHP GOD!!!

 

which of those pages gets all the metatags, and css style sheet include link,

 

I directed the page to get content1 info and voila!! check it out:

http://feelingabsolutelyfabulous.com/index.php

 

I have to add the rest of my design but you have aided me greatly!

 

I really thank you for all your time and patience..

you must be a great guy!!

[redarrow]

have a look at your css, and your find this is what you want, on the first page.

 

<link href="scripts/faf2.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

 

 

sorry what are you asking , just rename the home.php to index,php

 

your done arnt you?

 

what have you done are you using mod_rewrite there?

 

[redarrow]

There no reason for the first page, as you got all the other pages correct.

 

Use a switch, and default the home.html as default.

[themuffin]

Actually I don't want to use the old site.. that is one I created in 2007.. have moved on since then which is why I am using php or should I say trying to

[redarrow]

what are you doing you got .php and .html what going on lol.

 

if your using php, should be .php ,unless added as html seen as a php pagem, in the php.ini?

[Maq]

redarrow please don't jump into the middle of a thread when you obviously haven't read the previous posts, you're just confusing everyone.

[mattal999]

I dont quite understand your question at the moment. I think that you are asking which page includes the stylesheet, which I think is: main_menu.php.

 

If this is wrong, then try rephrase your question

[redarrow]

Maq i got a privet post, from the user so i do understand mate?

 

lets all get this write, you got a web site, and you wanted to add php, so now your using php $_GET[], on the first page to get the html pages, am i correct.

 

if i am correct, then you need to rename all the html pages to .php pages.

 

your index.html should be index.php.

 

because your going to do that, then re name all the included pages with the correct . ext  .php

 

make sure that the first page is index.php

 

if you just rename all the .html to .php and change the links to .php it will all work no other code needed.

 

php can use html as a .php ext name.

 

you can break in and out of php and html any time you want.

[themuffin]

Thanks all..
