php include problemos!

[andrew_biggart]

Ok ive been trying to get this to work for days! But is it possible to have this code on a seperate page and use an include on every page you want it in?

 

<?php
$username=$_SESSION['myusername'];
if(isset($_SESSION['myusername'])) {
echo "
   <img alt='' src='../icons/myacc.gif' width='12' height='11' />
   <a class='button6' href='my_profile.php'>My Account</a>
   <img alt='' src='../icons/mypro.gif' width='12' height='11' />
   <a class='button6' href='profile.php?username=$username'>My Profile</a>
   <img alt='' src='../icons/mymes.gif' width='12' height='11' />
   <a class='button6' href='my_profile_messages.php'>My Messages</a>
   <img alt='' src='../icons/myale.gif' width='11' height='11' />
   <a class='button6' href='my_profile_alerts.php'>My Alerts</a>
   <img alt='' src='../icons/myreq.gif' width='12' height='11' />
   <a class='button6' href='my_profile_requests.php'>My Requests</a>
   <img alt='' src='../icons/myfri.gif' width='12' height='11' />
   <a class='button6' href='my_profile_friends.php'>My Friends</a>
   <img alt='' src='../icons/mylog.gif' width='12' height='12' />
   <a class='button6' href='logout.php'>Logout</a>
";
}
else{
echo "
<form method='post' action='check_login.php'>
<table style='float: right'>
<tr>
<td><img alt='' src='../Header_images/login.jpg' width='120' height='18' /></td>
<td><input class='username' name='myusername' type='text' value='Username'/></td>
<td class='logmein'>:Username</td>
<td><input class='password' name='mypassword' type='password' value='Password'/></td>
<td class='logmein'>:Password</td>
<td><input class='submit' name='Submit2' type='submit' value='Cumon in'/><a href='user_register.htm'><input class='register' name='Submit2' type='button' value='Register'/></a></td>
</tr>
</table>	
</form>
";
}
?>

 

So thats the code i want to have on the include page! called navmenu.php

 

and ive been trying this code to try and include it on my test page but its not working.

 

<?php include("navmenu.php"); ?>

 

I am doing something wrong? Thanks in advance

Make sure you are calling session_start before you include navmenu.php. Remember before you use $_SESSION variables you need to start the session first.

 

Example

<?php
session_start();

// some other code here

include("navmenu.php");

?>

[Maq]

You need to have session_start at the top of your include script.

 

I would use require instead:

 

 

You can read the differences here: Require.

ok i have got it working now thanks! i already had the session start at the top the problem was infact the path to the include file! Thanks guys

[andrew_biggart]

Im still having some trouble with this! it is injecting the correct php but its not appearing inside the div proberly where it should be its slightly below it! any ideas?

[wildteen88]

This will be a HTML/CSS issue. Nothing to do with PHP.

[Maq]

We also need to see the code and related CSS.

[andrew_biggart]

ok il give you the code and see what u can spot!

 

Required file!

 

<?php
$username=$_SESSION['myusername'];
if(isset($_SESSION['myusername'])) {
echo "
   <img alt='' src='../icons/myacc.gif' width='12' height='11' />
   <a class='button6' href='my_profile.php'>My Account</a>
   <img alt='' src='../icons/mypro.gif' width='12' height='11' />
   <a class='button6' href='profile.php?username=$username'>My Profile</a>
   <img alt='' src='../icons/mymes.gif' width='12' height='11' />
   <a class='button6' href='my_profile_messages.php'>My Messages</a>
   <img alt='' src='../icons/myale.gif' width='11' height='11' />
   <a class='button6' href='my_profile_alerts.php'>My Alerts</a>
   <img alt='' src='../icons/myreq.gif' width='12' height='11' />
   <a class='button6' href='my_profile_requests.php'>My Requests</a>
   <img alt='' src='../icons/myfri.gif' width='12' height='11' />
   <a class='button6' href='my_profile_friends.php'>My Friends</a>
   <img alt='' src='../icons/mylog.gif' width='12' height='12' />
   <a class='button6' href='logout.php'>Logout</a>
";
}
else{
echo "
<form method='post' action='check_login.php'>
<table style='float: right'>
<tr>
<td><img alt='' src='../Header_images/login.jpg' width='120' height='18' /></td>
<td><input class='username' name='myusername' type='text' value='Username'/></td>
<td class='logmein'>:Username</td>
<td><input class='password' name='mypassword' type='password' value='Password'/></td>
<td class='logmein'>:Password</td>
<td><input class='submit' name='Submit2' type='submit' value='Cumon in'/><a href='user_register.htm'><input class='register' name='Submit2' type='button' value='Register'/></a></td>
</tr>
</table>	
</form>
";
}
?>

 

and this is being injected hear!

 

<div id="nav_menu">
<?php require_once("../Includes/navmenu.php"); ?>
</div>

 

and the css im using for the div is

#nav_menu {
width:640px;
height:25px;
background-image:url('../Layout_images/menu_new.gif');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
padding-left:188px;
padding-right:60px;
padding-top:5px;
text-align:right;

}

 

I have been able to include my flash banner and footer successfully i jut cant get this php to work properly! it adds it to the page but 30-40px below where it should be! im not able to use the login form! and it moves the flash banner down with it! How ever when i remove the nav code and keep the flash banner require there the banner is in the correct place!

 

Thanks

Assuming this is an issue with your CSS, I'm moving it there.

[wildteen88]

Any reason you're floating your table to the right?

[andrew_biggart]

Im not really sure to be honest but i removed it and then the login form disappear!! im assuming it was behind the flash banner!

[andrew_biggart]

Its weird because it works perfectly when i directly put the php code directly into the div! but when i try to add it via a php include page it doesnt!
