PHP Switch ~ Pages

**Red_X_** · 03-01-2007, 01:54 PM

Basically I got a few pages:

Index.php
Network.php
Order.php
contact.php

I want those pages to use the get function throughout the page.

Example:

http://www.mysite.com/index.php?=Network (and have the network id be the network.php page) so the page would just jump off the index. More of a personal thing.

Thanks:

You mean jump to that page or include it?

Jump:

PHP Code:


			
<?php
if(isset($_GET['id'])){
Header('Location:'.$_GET['id'].'.php');
}else{
// Normal index page
}
?>

Include:

PHP Code:


			
<?php
if(isset($_GET['id'])){
include_once($_GET['id'].'.php');
}
?>

Note:
Linking goes like this:
Index.php?id=Network
!Case sensitive!

Perhaps a example? As i've tested this code, and it doesn't seem to work. I just basically like I said above to have the index, jump to those pages. But keep my header, and footer information. without having to reload them.

So would the switch be layed out something like this?

PHP Code:


			
switch ($page):
case 0:
   echo "?page=network.php";
   break;
case 1:
   echo "?page=contact.php";
   break;
case 2:
   echo "?page=order.php";
   break;
default:
   echo "index.php";
endswitch;

Uhm. No.

I'll state you a small example:

PHP Code:


			
<html>
<head>
<title>Test page</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="Header">Your header goes here</div>
<div id="Content">
<?php
switch($_GET['page']){
case 1:
include_once('news.php');
break;
case 2:
include_once('galleries.php');
break;
case 3:
include_once('links.php');
break;
default:
include_once('home.php');
break;
}
?>
</div>
</div id="Footer">Your footer goes here</div>
</body>
</html>

Now you can link to:
'News': 'index.php?page=1'
'Galleries': 'index.php?page=2'
'Links': 'index.php?page=3'

If no page is supplied, you get the 'Home' page.

When you supply variables to a webpage via the GET method.. you are reloading the entire page.

Say you click on a link with an address of 'index.php?index=page2.php' ... the index.php page still completely reloads, but will now just include a different file for the content.

You state in your post that you want to keep the header and footer information the same... Am I understanding you correctly, or is the solution provided what you are looking for?

Basically my page is layed out like such. Top(header)right(links)bottom(footer)

The only thing I want to change is the left side were my information is stored on each relaod. :P I forgot the links part above.

Then you should use frames or AJAX to change only a part of a page.

**memberpro** · 03-05-2007, 04:16 PM

I agree...Use AJAX/javascript along with an iframe to do what you are looking for.

**Red_X_** · 03-07-2007, 08:28 AM

Haha i'm to lazy to implement some JS or AJAX.

So i'll just stick with the other way, to just have the page reload. But thanks for the idea, i'll keep it in mind.
