TGWSE_GY Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Ok so here is a little preliminary information about what I am attempting. I have grown tired of writing a custom content conditions file to process what page/file to load based off a link clicked. So I had the idea of having an array that has the page id(key) filename without the .php extension(value). What is happening in my custom function is reading through the array but everytime it apparently goes through the loop and doesn't and falls through all itterations and then setting the default page(home.php) Below is my php file that loads the array and the custom function to grab the page and is suppose to return the file name and location to load in the content div in the index.php file. <?php //We will build the $pgid array first $pgID = array(0=>"home", 1=>"about", 2=>"mixology", 3=>"blogs", 4=>"press", 5=>"contact"); //FUNCTIONS// function grabpage(){ //Test if ID is present in URL if(isset($_GET['ID'])){ //TRUE then store value of ID from URL in $pg $pg = $_GET['ID']; //Loop through the $pgID array until a match is found foreach($pgID as $key => $value){ //Test to see if $pg is NOT equal to current array item key if($pg == $key){ //if $pg is equal to $key we then //set $getthispage to "content/directory/" concatinate $value concatinate ".file_extension" $getthispage = "includes/content/" . $value . ".php"; return $getthispage; break; //if the above is not true then we test to see if $pg is not equal to $key }elseif($pg != $key){ //if above test IF is true then we continue to the next itteration in the loop continue; } } }else{ $getthispage = "includes/content/home.php"; return $getthispage; } } ?> here is the index.php code <?php error_reporting(2047); ini_set("display_errors",1); ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="simple.css" /> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <div id="header"> <center> <img src="images/logo.png" width="800" height="150" alt="DeeJay Octane" /> </center> </div> <div id="nav"> <div> </div> <p> <a id="navi_link" href="../index.php?section=1">HOME</a><a id="navi_link" href="../index.php?section=2">ABOUT</a><a id="navi_link" href="../index.php?section=3">MIXOLOGY</a><a id="navi_link" href="../index.php?section=4">BLOGS</a><a id="navi_link" href="../index.php?section=5">PRESS</a><a id="navi_link" href="../index.php?section=6">CONTACT</a> </p> </div> <div id="content"> <?php include('includes/config/config.master.php'); ?> <?php $getit = grabpage(); include($getit); ?> </div> <div id="footer"> <center> <font style="background-color:#000;">Designed & Developed By <a href="http://www.visualrealityink.com">Visual Reality ink.</a></font> </center> </div> </div> </body> </html> www.deejayoctane.com Thanks in advance guys Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/203610-trouble-looping-through-an-array-and-returning-variable-to-load-dynamic-content/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 $pdID is not defined within your function.

TGWSE_GY Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 So another words the Array needs to be built in the grabpage functions?

trq Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Either that or passed in as an argument. I didn't really look at the rest of the code, but there should be no need for any loop either. function grabpage($id, $arr) { if (in_array($id, $arr)) { return "includes/content/{$arr[$id]}.php"; } else { return "includes/content/home.php"; } } Then.... <?php $pgID = array("home", "about", "mixology", "blogs", "press", "contact"); include(grabpage($_GET['ID'], $pgID)); ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/203610-trouble-looping-through-an-array-and-returning-variable-to-load-dynamic-content/#findComment-1066538 Share on other sites More sharing options...
