home as default, and linking in other pages...

[Exact]

hey guys,

 

here is probably the simplest question you have ever seen.... sorry, im a newbie

 

i have a index.php files that includes: footer.php header.php menu.php and home.php.

 

where i have

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

, i want to be able to go to mysite.com.au/index.php?page=about etc and where home.php is i want these to appear when called about.php, contact.php, new.php, products.php.

 

but i also want home.php to be the default page so when you go to mysite.com it appears...

Look into the switch statement:

 

switch ($_GET['page']) {
     default:
     case 'home':
                include('home.php');
     break;
     case 'about':
                include('about.php'); 
     break;
}

 

Hope that helps ya.

so you are saying if i have 50 different pages i have to write them down all in there?

You can use glob to generate a dynamic list via an array and loop through it and test/include that if you would like.

 

$files = glob('*.php');
if (isset($_GET['page'])) {
    foreach ($files as $file) {
          if (strtolower($_GET['page']) . ".php" == $file) {
                  include($file);
          }
   }
}

 

Un-tested but it is a rough example of what you can do.

i have been trying to get this to work all weekend.... is there anything im missing?

[mrMarcus]

ya, you're missing the part where you describe what's not working .. exactly.

[Exact]

hehe. sorry. the last code

$files = glob('*.php');if (isset($_GET['page'])) {    foreach ($files as $file) {          if (strtolower($_GET['page']) . ".php" == $file) {                  include($file);          }   }}

 

i cant get it to display home.php as default. and when you go to /index.php?page=about    it is not displaying about.php

 

[mrMarcus]

is about.php in the same folder as index.php?  if not, you need to indicate the path to the file in the include();

 

just add:

 

else { include 'index.php'; }

 

after your:

 

if (isset($_GET['page'])) {

[Exact]

so if i do this it comes up blank. with no page and no error:

 

<?php $files = glob('*.php'); if (isset($_GET['page']))  
{ else { include 'home.php'; }  foreach ($files as $file) {          
if (strtolower($_GET['page']) . ".php" == $file) {                  include($file);          }   }}
?>

 

Also yes they are all in the same folder

[mrMarcus]

sorry dude, should've been more specific:

 

$files = glob('*.php');

if (isset($_GET['page'])) {

    foreach ($files as $file) {

          if (strtolower($_GET['page']) . ".php" == $file) {

                  include($file);

          }

  }

}

else

{ include 'index.php'; }

[Exact]
