Dynamic Includes

[-Karl-]

I have my code:

        $url = $_GET['page'];
        $Pages = explode('/', $url);
        include('pages/'.$Pages[3]);

 

This works fine and it includes the correct file, however, is it possible to do something like this?

 

        $url = $_GET['page'];
        $Pages = explode('/', $url);
        include('pages/'.$Pages[3].'?flibble=questview&id='.$Pages[4]);

You cannot pass url parameters as part of the include path. However you can access url parameters from within include files, eg

 

file1.php

<?php
include 'file2.php';
?>

 

file2.php

<?php
echo $_GET['var1'] . ' - ' . $_GET['var2'];
?>

 

Now go to file.php?var1=hello&var2=world

Yes, I know that. But I'm facing an issue.

 

What I'm trying to do is using mod rewrite

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule \.(gif|png|jpg|css|js)$|^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page=$1 [NC]

 

this will make www.mysite.com/thepage work.

 

I'm now trying to get

 

www.mysite.com/thispage/1

 

to work, where 1 is the number of the page ID. But I just can't find any work around to this.

If your urls are setup as site.com/pagename/pageid

 

Thn you can setup a second rule which passes the page id to index.php too

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule \.(gif|png|jpg|css|js)$|^index\.php$ - [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*)/([0-9]+)$ index.php?page=$1&id=$2 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?page=$1 [NC,L]

 

Now you can access the page id with $_GET['id']

That's the whole problem, I've tried that and it hasn't worked.

 

This is my index.php:

<?php
function HtmlOut($Str) {
    return htmlentities($Str, ENT_QUOTES);
}
include ('tpl/header.tpl');

if (isset($_GET['page'])) {
    if (preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9-\/]+$/D', $_GET['page'])) {
        if (is_file('pages/'.$_GET['page'].'.php')) {
            $Page=$_GET['page'];
        } else {
            echo '<div id="contenttitle">File Not Found</div>
                        <div class="news">
                        <h1>File not Found</h1>
                              <p>Unfortunately but the file "<span>'.HtmlOut($_GET['page']).'</span>" could not be found.</p>
                              <p>If you believe this is an error, please contact an administrator immediately.</p>
                        </div>';
        }
    } else {
        $Flash='File &quote;'.HtmlOut($_GET['page']).'&quote; not found.';
    }
}
if ((empty($_GET['page'])) && (!file_exists('pages/'.$Page.'.php'))) {
    $Page = 'index';
}
if (is_file('pages/'.$Page.'.php') && file_exists('pages/'.$Page.'.php')) {
include('pages/'.$Page.'.php');
}

include ('tpl/sidebar.tpl');
include ('tpl/footer.tpl');

?>

 

Then I have pages/quests.php which is what displays a table, or the data to an appropriate ID, this is done via two functions.

Also, the URL is www.mysite.com/pagename/pageid/pagetitle

 

But the title is irrelevant, it does nothing except add to the SEO value.

Oh wow, nevermind. I've done it, thanks so much for your help!

 

Anyway to get it to work with and without trailing slashes?

Can you post some example urls your have tested. As I have tested  your code and its working fine for me, although I made a small change to your rewriterule's

RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1&id=$2 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-]+)/?$ index.php?page=$1 [NC,L]

Going to site.com/test/123 yielded:

Array
(
    

---

 => test
    [id] => 1243
)

And site.com/test yielded:

Array
(
    

---

 => test
)

This is what I had in pages/test.php

<?php
echo '<pre>'.print_r($_GET,true).'</pre>';
?>

Working perfectly now, thanks a lot.
