[SOLVED] PHP Include?

[Zolomon]

Hello!

 

I am new to this forum, and I tried to search for my question

but I didn't find anything so I decided to ask:

 

EDIT: I did a few more searches and now I found some potential

examples. I would still like your help though!

 

I have three sites:

 

index.php <- main site

links.php <- site with 5 different links

home.php <- site with contents for home

portfolio.php <- site with contents for portfolio

 

Question:

When you first start index.php, links.php and home.php are included. I wonder how would I, in PHP, be able to include the correct site, for the content for each link that has been pressed?

 

Example:

 

Index.php -

Link 1, Link 2, ink 3, ink 4, ink 5,

Home content( Welcome to my site etc..!)

 

Press Link 1 and reload index.php with the links.php included as well as portfolio.php (or some other site).

Press Link 2 and reload index.php with the links.php included as well as guestbook.php (or some other site).

I could use an iframe instead, but I wish to learn how to do this in PHP.

Please, help me!

 

Cheers,

Zolomon

what you will need to do is use if statment

 

if($_GET['home']){

include "home.php";

}else if($_GET['portfolio']){

 

include "portfolio.php";

}else if($_GET['other']){

 

include "other.php";

}

Hello!

 

Thank you for your help, very appreciated.

 

This is what I have tried so far, without success:

 

On index.php:

<?php

  $link = isset($_GET['link']) ? $_GET[['link'] : 'home';  

  include("{$link}.php");

?>

 

and then this on links.php:

<?php

echo '<a href="index.php?link=home"><span>Home</span></a>';

echo '<a href="index.php?link=links"><span>Links</span></a>';

echo '<a href="index.php?link=about"><span>About</span></a>';

echo    '<a href="index.php?link=guestbook"><span>Guestbook</span></a>';

echo '<a href="index.php?link=portfolio"><span>Portfolio</span></a>';

echo '<a href="index.html?link=link4" id="last"><span>Link 4</span></a>';

?>

 

but it does not seem to work. I tried to use your if/else statement but that did not work either.

 

Cheers,

Zolomon

Managed to solve it with:

index.php

<?php

$pages = array('home', 'links', 'about', 'guestbook', 'portfolio', 'link4');

 

if (isset($_REQUEST['link']) && in_array($_REQUEST['link'], $pages))

{

$include = $_REQUEST['link'];

} else {

$include = 'home';

}

include('content/'.$include .'.php');

?>
