PHP Includes

[akforce]

Hey I'm making a website, but i seem have some trouble,

 

I am using php on my menu bar to include the content in the content area,

 

but my problem is i want to include another DIV i have designed into another part of the page, but only for the home, the about page etc will not have this included, so my question is

 

How do i include multiple items on a page but only relative to that page:

 

Here is my current code:

 

This is on my config.php

<?php
function page($page){

$page = $_GET['page'];

switch ($page)
{
//  Main Menu
    case '':
    case 'home':
	include('modules/home.php');
	include('modules/test.php');
	break;
    case 'farms':
	include('modules/farms.php');
	break;
case 'forums':
	include('modules/forums.php');
	break;
case 'news':
	include('modules/news.php');
	break;
}}

 

this is how i have called it on the website:

 

Menu Bar:

        	<div class="links"><a href="index.php?page=home">Home</a></div>
            <div class="links"><a href="index.php?page=farms">Our Farms</a></div>

 

Include in content area:

               <?php page($page); ?>

 

i appreciate any help you can provide, thanks in advance.

I would use the environment variables to see what PHP script is executing, and if it is anything else than the home page, don't include it.

[akforce]

could you post an example please ?

[redarrow]

if you use include to many times you get a error that normal....

 

 

the php functions you can try are the following....

 

include()

include_once()

require()

require_once()

 

There also others like

file_get_contents()

 

 

More advance one

Curl

socket's

 

[akforce]

so i change my config file to:

 

    case 'home':

      include('modules/home.php');

      include_once('modules/test.php');

      break;

 

and to call it in the php home file?

 

<?php ... not to sure on this part

 

sorry im a pure php novice
