using part page url as reference

[robhargreaves]

Hi

 

Please can someone tell me if possible and how to reference part of a page url in

 

<code>

<?php include('includes/content.php'); ?>

</code>

 

so for example if my page is called news.php is it possible to prefix content.php and make it automatically news_content.php in the code.

 

I hope this makes sense!

 

Thanks Rob

Is news.php a real file? How about news_content.php?

 

Try this: What do you want the URL to look like and what kind of code does it have to "execute"?

Not sure what this has to do with a URL.

$base = basename(__FILE__, ".php");
include("includes/{$base}_content.php");

To use the filename in the actual URL you could use something from the $_SERVER array.

Hi I have found using this code works well

 

<code>

<?php
// Get the current page filename
$include_file = __FILE__;

// Remove the file extension .php (or any other file extension)
function remove_extension($filename) {
  $ext = pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
  return preg_replace('/\.' . preg_quote($ext, '/') . '$/', '', $filename);
}
$include_file = remove_extension($include_file);

// Add "_content.php"
$include_file .= '_content.php';

// Include the file if it exists
if(file_exists($include_file)) {
  include($include_file);
}
?>
