|
|
I dont know how to start talking here 
Well, I have website and all page created with pure html and also it has gallery images. I call this as STATIC WEBSITE, because its rare to update. Then on my website has lots of html files also deep subdirectory. Here is some my root of my site:
index.html
about.html
contact.html
faq.html
-
gallery/index.html
gallery/cat1/index.html
gallery/cat2/index.html
gallery/cat3/indexl.html
--
gallery/cat1/sub1/index.html
gallery/cat1/sub2/index.html
--
gallery/cat2/sub1/index.html
gallery/cat2/sub2/index.html
etc etc etc.....
If I want to go to spesific page, I should type long long address. And this make me bored. 
This is possible to handle with 1 PHP file script (or migh be more) to get more simple and easy, soo I just call on php file using this format:
index.php?
index.php?page=about
index.php?page=contact
index.php?page=faq
-
index.php?page=gallery&cat1=1
index.php?page=gallery&cat1=2
index.php?page=gallery&cat1=3
Or something like that.. Just want to make it more cool to show and more simple. I have read on the previous thread about :
<? include($_GET['page'].".html"); ?>
But I still got error when no spesific page call. Like, no such file or directory when i type default index.php Also, I dont know if that code support for subfolder inside. Im not able to view index.php?page=gallery/index or index.php?page=gallery/cat1/index
Please help me to break this out, and thanks for any help
Also, sorry for my English |

making a your website work in php is not as hard as some think
one file could do it but its much easier to use more than one to control the pages
now there are two ways i know of that will let you do this:
first way: create template files(header,footer,nav,ect) for the design part of the site, then make .htm files that contain the actual content of the site.
| Code: | <?
include "header.htm";
include "nav.htm";
$p = $_GET['p'];
if (($p == "") or ($p == "index")){
include "index.htm";
}elseif ($p == "contact"){
include "contact";
}else{
echo "page not found.";
}
include "footer.php";
?> |
that way is good but basic in concept
second way: draw out data from a DB(like mysql) this is what most people do when they use something like php to control their pages.
| Code: | <?
include "header.htm";
include "nav.htm";
$p = $_GET['p'];
$query = mysql_query("select * from site where page='$p'") or die(mysql_error());
$result = mysql_fetch_array($query);
$num = mysql_num_rows($query);
if ($num == 0){
echo "Sorry but the page your looking does not exist.";
}
echo $result['title'];
echo "<br> $result['content']";
include "footer.php";
?> |
both are basic examples on how to do this, but its pretty much the concept.

I just tried this code, and this pretty.
But I have a little problem,
1. When I call this index.php its reply
| Code: | | Notice: Undefined index: p in /home/www/www.domain.com/index.php on line 2 |
2. I have problem with relative links. Im trying to add
| Code: | }elseif ($p == "gallery"){
include "gallery/index.html"; |
and deeper subdirectory. And it wont load the images and CSS
Any sollution? |

ignore the that error, its a error to say that $p hasnt been defined accurding to the server if you have access to the php.ini file, just disable that.
as for the gallery page part, i would suggest making that its own file. it will be much easier that way

Here is another alternative,
| Code: | <?php
// Enable output buffering
// More info: http://www.php.net/ob_start
ob_start();
// Define our array of allowed $_GET values
$pass = array('index','about','contact');
// If the page is allowed, include it:
if (in_array($_GET['page'], $pass)) {
$p = $_GET['page'];
if ($p = "index"){
include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/index.php');
}
if ($p = "about"){
include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/about.php');
}
if ($p = "contact"){
include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/contact.php');
}
else {
echo "Oops! Something went wrong! Try again..";
}
}
// If there is no $_GET['page'] defined, then serve the homepage:
elseif (!isset($_GET['page'])) {
include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/index.php');
}
elseif ($_GET['page'] == "") {
include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . 'index.php');
}
// If the page is not allowed, send them to an error page:
else {
// This includes the error page
include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . 'error.php');
}
?>

Eeerrmm.... I think, I should learn this language.
Thank you,
Oohh... Anyone know, where can I learn how to build PHP catalog. I mean, how to build web catalog?
Using pure html just waste my time, edited one file by one Where should I start?

Whoaaaaaaahhhh....
php.net?? wheeeww..... to complicated, I mean, a site that offers step by step how to build that catalog.
Uhhmm... maybe you right, www.php.net the best place to learn, but sometimes i went there, its too confusing...
Is CJ offer tutorials like this??
O yahhh... I have problem with last scripts, I got nothing error on my site, but when I change page to [index.php?page=contact] or about or else, its stay to show always index page, I mean there's no changing.... always index page.
What wrong with that? or I have problem with my server?
Thank you... |

no james dont has any tutorials but i can direct you to some
http://phpfreaks.com
php.net will be useful for you once you have a good concept of php
if your still getting those notice errors, just disable them in your php.ini file, and if you dont have access to it, i think theres a way to disarm that error using .htaccess
but my example is pretty cut clear & dry
