Aplep Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Hello! I'm a noob in terms of php and I want to ask you something. How could I create a menu like this: Top T | Top CT -> when I press Top T, another 2 menu options (href) will appear bellow (and the Top T and Top CT will remain) and when I press TOP ct the same. But I want all in one .php file, so how can I do it ? Thank you very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Hmm . . . what you are describing *can* be done in PHP, but is normally done in JavaScript so there is no page refresh. But, here is a rudimentary PHP example <?php $subLinks = ''; switch($_GET['t']) { case 'T': $subLinks .= "<a href='pageTA.php'>T-A</a>\n" $subLinks .= "<a href='pageTB.php'>T-B</a>\n" break; case 'TC': $subLinks .= "<a href='pageTCA.php'>TC-A</a>\n" $subLinks .= "<a href='pageTCB.php'>TC-B</a>\n" break; } ?> <a href="index.php?t=T">Top T</a> <a href="index.php?t=TC">Top TC</a><br> <?php echo $subLinks; ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplep Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Thank you. One more noob question: Where how could I put the content of 'pageTA.php' ; pageTB.php ; pageTCA.php ; pageTCB.php without making separate pages ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redarrow Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 you put it altogether now. might be errors not tested the example ok. <?php echo"<a href=" ".$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]."?a="a" ">link 1</a><br/><br/>"; echo"<a href=" ".SERVER["PHP_SELF"]."?b="b" ">link 2</a>"; if $_GET["a"]=="a"){ echo " this is page a"; break; } if $_GET["b"]=="b"){ echo " this is page b"; break; } ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Thank you. One more noob question: Where how could I put the content of 'pageTA.php' ; pageTB.php ; pageTCA.php ; pageTCB.php without making separate pages ? Why would you want to? It is much better to have smaller, well-defined scripts rather than trying to create one huge script. But, you could create one script that controls which content is displayed. Again, here is a ROUGH example. There are hundreds of ways you could accomplish this and the best solutions would be dictated by the specific configuration/complexity of what you are trying to do. In this example youwould have a single index.php page that the user loads each time. But, you would have separate files for the content to load based upon the selection made. <?php $base_page = 'test.php'; //Detemine the menu to display $menu = "<a href='{$base_page}?tab=T'>Top T</a> \n"; $menu .= "<a href='{$base_page}?tab=TC'>Top TC</a>\n";; $menu .= "<br>\n"; switch($_GET['tab']) { case 'T': $menu .= "<a href='{$base_page}?tab=T&page=T-A'>T-A</a>\n"; $menu .= "<a href='{$base_page}?tab=T&page=T-B'>T-B</a>\n"; break; case 'TC': $menu .= "<a href='{$base_page}?tab=TC&page=TC-A'>TC-A</a>\n"; $menu .= "<a href='{$base_page}?tab=TC&page=TC-B'>TC-B</a>\n"; break; } //Detemine the content to display switch($_GET['page']) { case 'T-A': // Create files for each page: case 'T-B': // T-A.php, T-B.php, etc. with case 'TC-A': // just the content to displaye case 'TC-B': $content_include = $_GET['page'] . 'php'; break; default: $content_include = 'nopage.php'; //Page to display when nothing is selected } ?> <html> <head> </head> <body> <!-- Begin Menu --> <?php echo $menu; ?> <!-- End Menu --> <br><br> <!-- Begin Content --> <?php include($content_include); ?> <!-- End Content --> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redarrow Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 this is a nice way aswell <html> <head> <head> <title> </title> </head> <body> <?php session_start(); $self=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; echo"<a href='$self?a=a '>link 1</a>"; echo"<br/><br/>"; echo"<a href='$self?a=b '>link 2</a>"; if($_GET['a']=="a"){ echo " <center> <br /><p> <b> This is page a </b> </p> </center> </body> </html>"; exit; } if($_GET['a']=="b"){ echo " <center> <br /><p> <b> This is page b </b> </p> </center> </body> </html>"; exit; } ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
