PHP Include Site Template :/

[Spitfire]

I have a site running this code:

 

  
HEADER


// Content Loaded Here

<?php
    $pathToMainPage = "news/news.php";
    $pathTo404Page = "error.php";
    if(isset($_GET['page']))
    {
        $pathToIncludePage = $_GET['page'].=".php";
        if(file_exists($pathToIncludePage))
        {
            include $pathToIncludePage;
        }
        else
        {
            include $pathTo404Page;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        include $pathToMainPage;
    }
?>

// End Content

FOOTER

 

This outputs all pages as index.php?page=PageName. My question is whats the easist way to make a template that will allow pages to be displayed like this.

domain.com/category1/page1/ using a common header / footer etc.

 

atm i have domain.com/index.php?page=category1/page1

 

any help would be great, thanks!

I'm a php learner so this may not be correct but...... Could you not put an include with the header(html banner and stuff) above where the content starts and the same for the footer but below on each page you call ?

Hi,

 

Please check rewrite rules and .htaccess changes on google. It will be easy with one rule like below

 

([^/]*)/([^/]*)/ index.php?page=($1)/($2)

 

To use .htaccess, you should have allowoverrideall setting enabled in httpd.conf. Please google around.
