Multiple Pages

[rabidityfactor]

Hi. Im very new to php. I'm trying to create a basic login/registration page.

 

So I have a basic template (with headers and footers and stuff) - main.php. The contents are to be inside a table.

 

The login/registration pages(login.php, register.php etc) do not have any hearders/footers, and I want them to be inserted inside the table in main.php. I tried doing it with the @include('register.php'), but then these pages have links inside them, which opens separately.

 

How can I 'embed' the different pages in one single page - main.php?? I hope you understand my question.

 

Thanks in advance.

hi,

 

i don't understand what the problem is with using 'include'. you will have no problem with your links using this method.

Option 1)

Use query string flags such as main.php?p=register

So each link redirects back to main.php, but the flag "p" indicates what is to be included in the table.

 

Option 2)

Use Ajax to load the entire register.php and just replace the contents of the table.

 

Option 3)

Include a standard layout on each page e.g.

include('header.php');
...rest of content
include('footer.php');

or using variables:

include('standard.php');
echo $header;
echo rest of content...
echo $footer;

 

Option 4)

Use Frames

Option 5)

Use the Two-Step View pattern of Martin Fowler (http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/twoStepView.html)
