Moorcam Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Hi all, Hope to find you all good. I have the following, which creates a php file. This works fine and without error. However, once created, the content of the page, which is got from the Database, is not showing. <?php include_once('includes/header.php'); if(isset($_POST['new']) && $_POST['new']==1){ if(isset($_POST['submit'])){ $trn_date = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, date("Y-m-d H:i:s")); $name = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['name']); $description = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['description']); $body = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['body']); $submittedby = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_SESSION["username"]); $sql = "SELECT * FROM pages WHERE name='$name'"; $res = mysqli_query($con, $sql); if (mysqli_num_rows($res) > 0) { $message = '<i class="fa fa-times text-danger"> - A Page already exists with that name!</i>'; }else{ $ins_query="insert into pages (`trn_date`,`name`,`description`, `body`, `submittedby`)values ('$trn_date','$name','$description', '$body', '$submittedby')"; mysqli_query($con,$ins_query) or die(mysqli_error($con)); if(mysqli_affected_rows($con)== 1 ){ // Name of the template file. $template_file = 'template.php'; // Root folder if working in subdirectory.

requinix Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 To answer the question itself, check your assumptions about those placeholders and the template file. But this is all wrong. Creating files like this is definitely not the way to go about it. You say this is for learning purposes, right? Then you should definitely want to learn the right way to do it. Given that the template stuff isn't working correctly (or rather, why it isn't working correctly) I can't quite say for sure exactly what it is you need to do. What I can tell you is that should be having one single PHP file handling every "page". A file that will probably look a lot like your template.php, in fact. What you do is tell your web server that certain URLs it doesn't recognize should be routed to a PHP script. In this case, that URL would be something resembling the "name" you're currently templating. The PHP script takes that name, looks up the information in the database, and displays it. The term you need to research is "URL rewriting". It's not hard to do.

It is a learning curve and I have taken your input on board and decided to go in the direction you suggested.
