[SOLVED] How do I use include in multiple links

[adchico]

I have the index.php

 

other pages:

about.php

index.php

contact.php

 

In this page I have a table where I want the other pages

to show when I click its link.

 

I know how to use

<?php include("about.php") ?>

 

but how will i use this to trigger different pages to show in a table cell if I click the about link or the contact link?

Can you better phrase this question.  I understand that you have a table.  And if you click on a link you want it to direct you to a page.  Where is your issue in include()?

Im sorry about that ... Im just a noob in php ... Im going to make this as simple as I can =)

 

 

I have a page index.php with tables in it

I have several links

 

Home     About     Contact Us

 

When a Link is selected, how can I make the Page to be opened, open up in one of the tables?

 

here is what im trying to do

 

 

if Home link is selected

<td><?php include("index.php"); ?></td>

if About link is selected

<td><?php include("about.php"); ?></td> <--- in the same table cell

if Contact Us link is selected

<td><?php include("contact.php"); ?></td> <--- in the same table cell

First off, your not a noob. We all started off somewhere. All you need to make this work is a some sort of variable that you can pass through to the script.

So no matter what link your user clicks on he or she will always be sending a message to the php script. In this example I used a get var in the url query.

I have it so each link has a section variable. The code below works in both php 4 and php 5 environments. The only thing that would need to be change is the HTTP_GET_VAR.

PHP 5 doesn't use HTTP_GET_VARS anymore so it would need to be replaced with $_GET.

 

<table>
<tr>
	<td><a href="?section=home">Home</a></td>
	<td><a href="?section=about">About</a></td>
	<td><a href="?section=contact">Contact</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<?php
	$section = $HTTP_GET_VARS["section"]; //$_GET if your using php5

	if($section == "home") {
		include("home.php");
	}

	if($section == "about") {
		include("about.php");
	}

	if($section == "contact") {
		include("contact");
	}
	?>
</tr>
</table>

PHP 5 doesn't use HTTP_GET_VARS anymore

 

Niether does php4. $_GET[] is the prefered method.

@TomKrush

 

first of all I want to thank you for your help

I get the idea

http://localhost/mywebs/www/index.php?section==home

or

http://localhost/mywebs/www/index.php?section==about

 

is showing in the url

but the problem is

the include file is not showing up

 

the about.php is not showing up in the table

Post your code.

[adchico]

Im sorry here is the code

 

I followed the instruction on the link:

 

<td width="93"><div align="center" class="style40">

 

<a href="?section==home">Home</a></div></td>

   

<td width="96"><div align="center" class="style49 style44 style45">

 

<a href="?section==about">About Us</a></div></td>

 

 

and the code of include in the table cell:

 

<?php

$section = $_GET["section"];

//$_GET if your using php5

 

if($section == "home")

{

include("index.php");

}

 

if($section == "about")

{

include("about.php");

}

?>

 

</td>

 

   

[trq]

Your links should be...

 

<a href="?section=home">Home</a>

 

Only one =
