[SOLVED] Array help...

[Aureole]

I want to have something like this:

 

<?php
$input = array
(
'home' => array( 'Home', 'index.php'),
'contact' => array( 'Contact',  'contact.php')
);

if( in_array( $_GET['file'], $input ) )
{
        // Include the file here...
}
?>

 

But I'm not sure how to go about it, any ideas?

[kenrbnsn]

Why have a 2-d array?

 

Do something like:

<?php
$input = array
(
'home' =>  'index.php',
'contact' => 'contact.php'
);

foreach ($input as $fld => $val)
     if ($_GET['file'] == $val) include($val);

?>

Because there will be more things in the array (around 4 or 5 in total for each) than I put in my example, I just only put 2 to make it easier for people to try and help.

Didn't work though, did it?

 

Someone helps with information given then you move the goalposts

You make a point, I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I could approach this? Thanks.

I'm confused now,

 

What is it that really want to do?

 

As a general rule I find that there are simple workarounds to tricky ideas

[laffin]

<?php

$pages = array(

  'home' => 'index.php',

  'contact' => 'contact.php'

  );

 

if(isset($_GET['file']) && (array_key_exists($_GET['file'],$pages))

{

  include($pages[$_GET['file']);

}

echo "Unknown page.";

?>

Thanks for your suggests laffin and kenrbrsn but I already know how to do it both of those ways.

 

$input = array
(
'home' => array( 'Home', 'something', 'something', 'index.php'),
'contact' => array( 'Contact', 'something', 'something',  'contact.php')
);
if( in_array( $_GET['file'], $input ) )
{
$input[$_GET['file']]
}

 

If the $_GET['page'] is home, I want to include index.php and I want to be able to access those other parts of the array ( array( 'Home', 'something', 'something', 'index.php') ), if it's contact then the same...

 

I know there are simple workarounds to tricky ideas, but it'd be nice to know how to do this anyway..

When $_GET['page'] contains 'home', what can we expect in $_GET['file'] ?

[Aureole]

I worked it out, it was simpler than I thought.

 

<?php
$page = ( isset( $_GET['page'] ) && ( $_GET['page'] ) ) ? $_GET['page'] : 'home';

$input = array
(
'home' => array( 'Home', 'website', 'public', 'index'),
        'forum' => array( 'Forum Index, 'forum', 'forum', 'index'),
'contact' => array( 'Contact', 'website', 'public', 'contact')
);

if( array_key_exists( $act, $input ) )
{
require_once( ROOT_PATH . 'sources/' . $input[$act][2] . '/' . $input[$act][3] . '.' . $equinox->vars['php_ext'] );

$page_title = $input[$act][0];
$nav_current = $input[$act][1];

include( ROOT_PATH . 'sources/inc/header.' . $equinox->vars['php_ext'] );
echo( $page_html );
include( ROOT_PATH . 'sources/inc/footer.' . $equinox->vars['php_ext'] );
}
?>
