page linking

shak123 · February 6, 2008

Hi Folks! I m kinda new to PHP. Can anyone tell me how to load different page while using index.php as page container. For example, lets say I have a page index.php and I want to load another page called contact.php in the browser.

In fact, I dont know how to implement the following:

<?php
if (!defined('WEB_ROOT')) {
exit;
}
?>
<p> </p>
<div align="center"><img src="images/headerImagefront2-final.png" alt="Header Image"></div>
<div align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF"><a href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">Home</a> | Services | About | Contact | Shipping</font></div>
<br />

<?php

if(isset($_REQUEST['page']) && !empty($_REQUEST['page'])) //CHECK WHETHER A URL VARIABLE HAS BEEN SET AND IS NOT EMPTY
{
$page=$_REQUEST['page']; //SET LOCAL VARIABLE EQUAL TO URL VARIABLE
}
else
{
$page="home"; //IF NO URL IS PASSED VIA URL THEN SET DEFAULT PAGE
}
include "other_files/" . $page; //THIS LINE WILL DISPLAY THE $page
?>

How would I add different pages to the navigation. Please help asap.

Thanks in advance.

i'm not sure if you want to redirect to the other page using header, or open a file and output the contents or to use the mod_rewrite module where the server rewrites the URL?

Well, in fact I want to load a new page but the name of that page should be used as a postfix to the address. For example, if I have an address like this:

http://site.com/index.php

Lets say, I have different pages, for example, info.php, contact.php, address.php. How will I implement that by adding the page names to the above address. In fact, I am looking as follow:

http://site.com/index.php?<what should I have to pass here in order to load other pages>

You can import or include the desired page or use header() function in the very first of the index.php.This can also be done in the META tag of the index.php to redirect to the desired page.

Yea, thats what i m looking for and how?

Using header() u can do like this:

in index.php page include this line:

...

header("Location:http://jobspokhara.com.np");

...

then u will be redirected to the above mentioned url.

http://site.com/index.php?page=info

if(isset($_GET['page']) && strlen($_GET['page'])>0){
    $page=$page.'.php';
    include($page);
}

shak123 · February 6, 2008

http://site.com/index.php?page=info

if(isset($_GET['page']) && strlen($_GET['page'])>0){
    $page=$page.'.php';
    include($page);
}

Will I add the above code in

a href

tag? What if I have more then page, how will i include them and make my navigation?

Any other help, plz?

Stooney · February 6, 2008

yea, so

<a href="http://site.com/index.php?page=info">INFO</a>

Then somewhere in index.php:

if(isset($_GET['page']) && strlen($_GET['page'])>0){
    $page=$page.'.php';
    include($page);
}

Here's what I did:

<?php
if (!defined('WEB_ROOT')) {
exit;
}
?>
<p> </p>
<div align="center"><img src="images/headerImagefront2-final.png" alt="Header Image"></div>
<div align="center">
<a href="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">Home</a> | 
<a href="http://subicca.com/index.php?page=services">Services</a> | 
<a href=""> About </a> | 
<a href="">Contact </a>| 
<a href="">Shipping</a>
</div>
<br />

<?php
if(isset($_GET['page']) && strlen($_GET['page'])>0){
    $page=$page.'.php';
    include($page);
}

?>

But I got this error:

Notice: Undefined variable: page in /home/mehreen/public_html/subicca/include/top.php on line 8

Warning: main(.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mehreen/public_html/subicca/include/top.php on line 9

Put " ' " around the things, e.g. case 'services':
