Url Parameterizing

[tobimichigan]

Hi Code Gurus,

 

Please could you folks kindly give me a lead on creating multiple action pages including restricted pages from a single page ? For example:

 

index.php?action=login

 

Thanks a bunch

//setup array of allowed actions
$actions = array("login","logout","etc");

$action = "index"; //set it to index by default

//if action exists and is an allowed action, take it in
if(isset($_GET['action']) && in_array($_GET['action'],$actions)){
      $action= $_GET['action'];
}

//have a folder called actions with login.php and logout.php etc that control the processes behind those processes
require_once('actions/'.$action.'.php');

Wayne, thanks for your reply..but wait a minute, where would all these code go? On a sepearte php page, or on the same folder as the variable pages login, logout etc?

It's really up to you how you want to arrange it but normally it would go in your index.php script.

Firstly you probably want a rewrite rule to force all page requests through index.php

Secondly you'll want your index.php to decide what actions it's called based on the URL that has been sent through.
