[SOLVED] Dynamic PHP pages

makaveli80 · August 24, 2007

Hi guys, I've been trying to figure this problem out for a long time and I have yet been unable to figure out any solutions, so any help would be most appreciated.

There are 3 sections to the site, there is a template so the pages can be edited one one page, then the changes apply all over. Here is a jpg of what I was trying to do.

The three files are head.php (header), index.php (main content), and tail.php (footer)

This is head.php , I tried to remove the end body and html tags to see if it would come up, but no luck.

<?
require("db.php");
include(dirname(__FILE__).'/session.php');
session_start();
require("functions.php");
require("login.php");

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM site_config WHERE id='1'");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query))
{
foreach($row as $key => $value)
{
	$config[$key] = $value;
}
}
$total_new = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM sitepage WHERE ispage='1' AND isused='0'");
$totalnew = mysql_num_rows($total_new);
$total_acc = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM sitepage WHERE isacc='1'");
$totalacc = mysql_num_rows($total_acc);
$total_used = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM sitepage WHERE ispage='1' AND isused='1'");
$totalused = mysql_num_rows($total_used);
$user_id = GetUserID($username);
$wa = IsUserAdmin($user_id);
if($logged_in) {
if($wa == 1) {
$auth_access = 1;
} else {
$auth_access = 0;
}
}

  </tr>

</body>
</html>

This is basically the top part, and the left part. I can't put left part into index.php since the content changes and the left navigation dissapears...so I need it in head.

This is the index.php file, it loads the main content, and it should be in center of the page.

<?
require("head.php");

$user_id = GetUserID($username);
$wa = IsUserAdmin($user_id);
if($logged_in) {
if($wa == 1) {
$auth_access = 1;
} else {
$auth_access = 0;
}
}
if($auth_access == 1) {
echo "<meta http-equiv=\"Refresh\" content=\"0;url=sitepage2.php\">";
exit;
}

?>
<? if(!$logged_in){ ?>
</td>
<table width="450" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<? if( empty($config['main_banner']) ){ ?>
      <tr>
        <td><div class="mainheading"> <font color="#9f3738"> What's new here?</font></div></td>
      </tr>
<? }else{ ?>
      <tr>
        <td><img src="save/<? echo($config['main_banner']); ?>" /></td>
      </tr>
<? } ?>
      <tr>
        <td><div align="left">
            <div class="mainsub"> Welcome To Our Website!</div>
        </div></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td></td>
      </tr>
</table>
<br />
      <?
require("tail.php");
?>

And this is the tail.php (footer) it's not so important since I can figure this out if I can manage to somehow get index into the center BESIDE the navigation instead of under it.

Again, any help would be most appreciated.

PS. I don't know if variables are important, I just want the main content to show up in the center...

anybody with any ideas??? I'm really at a loss!

makaveli80 · August 24, 2007

the experts out there, I am in need of your assistance

lemmin · August 24, 2007

What are you trying to do? If you are just trying to swap those two blocks of text, why don't you just do that. Both of those things are in the same file (index.php). What do you mean by "Dynamic"?

chocopi · August 24, 2007

Isn't this a html probelm and not a php problem

MadTechie · August 24, 2007

Yep, CSS/HTML problem.. not php

What are you trying to do? If you are just trying to swap those two blocks of text, why don't you just do that. Both of those things are in the same file (index.php). What do you mean by "Dynamic"?

The content that is loaded from index.php does not load on the page where I want it to. And I simply can't figure out how to make it go to the top, it's always at the bottom. The problem occurs since it's split into 3 sections, header, index (middle) and the footer. All those are seperate php files. If it was one page, I would be easily able to get it to go where I want, but in 3 files, I haven't been able to.

lemmin · August 24, 2007

It is probably because you are closing the <body> and <html> tags and then adding more html. Try removing </html> and </body> from the bottom of your head.php file.

makaveli80 · August 24, 2007

yah I already tried that, I put that in my original post as well...sorry its so long, wanted to explain everything...i hope it makes sense.

any other ideas?

lemmin · August 24, 2007

Take this chunk OUT of your head.php:

</td>
          </tr>
        </table></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td height="5" align="left" valign="top"> </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        
      </tr>
    </table></td>
    <td background="images/image_2.jpg" style="background-position:top; background-repeat:repeat-x "> </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td> </td>
    <td width="766" align="left" valign="top"> </td>
    <td> </td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

and put it at the top of the tail.php or the bottom of index.php.

Hey lemmin,

thanks for the reply That almost works, I tried that as well. The problem when I do this is, everything gets pulled to the right hand side...including the header and index and footer. If I could figure out how to make everything centered then my problem would be solved.

Right now the index is showing exactly where I want it, just the entire page seems to have shifted to the far right.

any ideas how to center it? I've tried align left on all 3 pages but it doesn't seem to work?

makaveli80 · August 27, 2007

or if anyone else has any idea's, I would try them out too

lemmin · August 27, 2007

put <div align=left> right under <body> in the header and </div> right above </body> in the footer. That should center the entire thing, assuming it is less than 100% of the window.

makaveli80 · August 28, 2007

thanks lem! that was the answer I guess now that I know the part after the php is html, I can deal with the rest.

thanks again
