Navigating to pages

thecoofunka · May 23, 2010

Dear all,

I have encountered a problem in my index.php file. When visiting my website the pages opens with no problem but when I try to click on the sub-pages like HOME, ABOUT US, and CONTACT US. It gives me a server error. I have tried to point to the location of where these pages are located but still no results.

I am not to familiar with PHP. What can I do to fix this issue and be able to view all pages. Below is the code I am having trouble with as far as I know.

<td width="99px" height="36px" style="background-image:url(sub-web/images/tab-button.png);" align="center"><a href="sub-web/pages/about-us.php" class="a11bold<?php if($_GET['page']=="about-us") echo "sel";?>">ABOUT US</a></td>

<td width="99px" height="36px" style="background-image:url(sub-web/images/tab-button.png);" align="center"><a href="sub-web/pages/services.php" class="a11bold<?php if($_GET['page']=="services") echo "sel";?>">SERVICES</td>

<td width="99px" height="36px" style="background-image:url(sub-web/images/tab-button.png);" align="center"><a href="sub-web/pages/tools.php" class="a11bold<?php if($_GET['page']=="tools") echo "sel";?>">TOOLS</td>

<td width="99px" height="36px" style="background-image:url(sub-web/images/tab-button.png);" align="center"><a href="sub-web/pages/contact-us.php" class="a11bold<?php if($_GET['page']=="contact-us") echo "sel";?>">CONTACT US</td>

can you post the server error and more of the code if possible?

-Karl- · May 23, 2010

Post some more information in order for us to locate the issue. Also, use PHP tags.

Here is the requested information.

This is the server error.

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@website.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Not even going to help unless you put that code in to PHP tags.

thecoofunka · May 23, 2010

Sorry. Do not want to be disobeying the rules. Where do you want me to put them?

-Alex

-Karl- · May 23, 2010

Around your code.

thecoofunka · May 23, 2010

Karl,

But there is PHP tags around the codes that are using PHP. Some of the content is in HTML.

-Karl- · May 23, 2010

I'm talking about PHP tags, which are a part of the BBcode on these forums. It's a form of syntax highlighting, which makes your code much easier to read.

thecoofunka · May 23, 2010

Karl,

Thank you. Below should be PHP tagged.

Here is more of the code.

if (file_exists("pages/".$_GET['page'].".php")) include("pages/".$_GET['page'].".php");

Simply won't work in your case, as it expects to see, home.php?page=

page= will determine which file it should include (if it exists). At the moment you're coding will never work as $_GET['page'] will never exist. Unless you did:

               <td width="99px" height="36px" style="background-image:url(sub-web/images/tab-button.png);" align="center"><a href="home.php" class="a11bold<?php if($_GET['page']=="") echo "sel";?>">HOME</a></td>

               <td width="99px" height="36px" style="background-image:url(sub-web/images/tab-button.png);" align="center"><a href="home.php?page=about-us" class="a11bold<?php if($_GET['page']=="about-us") echo "sel";?>">ABOUT US</a></td>

               <td width="99px" height="36px" style="background-image:url(sub-web/images/tab-button.png);" align="center"><a href="home.php?page=services" class="a11bold<?php if($_GET['page']=="services") echo "sel";?>">SERVICES</td>

               <td width="99px" height="36px" style="background-image:url(sub-web/images/tab-button.png);" align="center"><a href="home.php?page=tools" class="a11bold<?php if($_GET['page']=="tools") echo "sel";?>">TOOLS</td>

               <td width="99px" height="36px" style="background-image:url(sub-web/images/tab-button.png);" align="center"><a href="home.php?page=contact-us" class="a11bold<?php if($_GET['page']=="contact-us") echo "sel";?>">CONTACT US</td>

That probably won't work, but it gives you the rough idea.

thecoofunka · May 24, 2010

Karl,

But I still do not understand why they will not show if these pages like ABOUT US do exist in my public_html/sub-web/pages folder. How can I correct the code since these files do exist.

-Alex

-Karl- · May 24, 2010

It won't work because of how the GET method works.

if (file_exists("pages/".$_GET['page'].".php")) include("pages/".$_GET['page'].".php");

That $_GET['page'] is returning nothing, ever. That's why it shows the home.php. The GET looks for what page, equals. So, home.php?page=about-us

In that example, page equals about.us. Therefore include("pages/".$_GET['page'].".php");, would be the equivalent of include("pages/about-us.php");

But with the way your links are set out, there is no GET method being defined, so it will always be null.

marcus · May 24, 2010

That server error isn't caused by your script. It's Apache, maybe the permissions on your file aren't correct? CHMOD them to 755.

-Karl- · May 24, 2010

That server error isn't caused by your script. It's Apache, maybe the permissions on your file aren't correct? CHMOD them to 755.

It could be the permissions, however, a 500 error is given if there isn't another suitable error to be displayed. So it could in fact, be his script.

marcus · May 24, 2010

500 Internal Error refers to the clients access to the requested URL.

thecoofunka · May 24, 2010

Well. I have tried to change all permissions and still no result so I think it's the error in my code.

Karl, so get method will not work. How do I go about fixing this problem? As I know it has worked before until I have moved and changed some files. Someone else was taking care of the site until I took over. How do I get it to work properly?

My index.php is located in public_html/sub-web/index.php

all my other pages like ABOUT US is located in public_html/sub-web/pages/

-Alex

-Karl- · May 24, 2010

Well, I'm not sure how you had it before the changes. Could have been a .htaccess file.

thecoofunka · May 24, 2010

Karl,

Yes. I played with the htaccess file because I could not make a second project on the same public_html folder and it would always point to my main site whatever I typed. So there would be no solutions for this?

thecoofunka · May 25, 2010

What else can I do to make the pages that I already have in public_html/sub-web/pages show on my main index.php

thecoofunka · May 25, 2010

No solution for my problem?

jcbones · May 25, 2010

-Karl- is right 100%.

If you don't want your links to look like "home.php?page=about-us". Then you have 2 options. Rebuild your pages, or make a .htaccess file, and use mod-rewrite.

.htaccess

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^sub-web/pages/(.*).php$ sub-web/index.php?page=$1

-Karl- · May 25, 2010

jcbones is correct. That's the only alternative.

I would have replied sooner, but I got called in to work on my day off
