View Full Version : Does anyone know PHP? gemma86 24-08-2005, 22:20 I have a problem with a bit of PHP coding. It's a really simple piece, involving dynamic includes that I copied and pasted from a tutorial site, but I'm having a little problem with it and as I'm a complete novice, I haven't clue what's wrong. Can anyone help? Lurch 25-08-2005, 00:39 Er, yeah. I can see exactly what the problem is. gemma86 25-08-2005, 00:42 I was going to see if anyone knew and would be able to help before I posted up the problem.... adaline 25-08-2005, 02:24 Show us what you got then gemma widemonk 25-08-2005, 08:43 Is this what you're after. Say you have a series of webpages that all need the same title and navigation bar etc. Now, you could have the same code on each page but if you update a menu item, you have update ALL your pages. The alternative is to have a separate page, lets call it 'header' then just call it from each of your other pages Start of each page <?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/header.htm"); ?> Rest of page Now you can just update that 1 'header' page and all the other pages that call it are automatically updated. Hope this is what you were after. Skatiechik 25-08-2005, 09:09 That is static rather than dynamic though sccsux 25-08-2005, 12:22 simple index.php. Called with index.php?page=itemX <?php switch ($page) { case "item1"; $content = "content1.php"; break; case item2"; $content = "content2.php"; break; case "item3"; $content = "content3.php"; break; case item4"; $content = "content4.php"; break; case "item5"; $content = "content5.php"; break; case item6"; $content = "content6.php"; break; default; $content = "default.php"; } include ("header.php"); include ("$content"); include ("footer.php"); ?> header.php: <?php <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>$Title</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> <a href="?page=item1>Item1</a>- <a href="?page=item2>Item2</a>- <a href="?page=item3>Item3</a>- <a href="?page=item4>Item4</a>- <a href="?page=item5>Item5</a>- <a href="?page=item6>Item6</a> ?> footer.php: <?php </body> </html> ?> You'll need to customise the file "header.php" which contains html for your nav menu, etc. and the one called footer.php which closes all the open html tags from the header. Each content page can then be simple text (with html formatting if required) and saved as contentXX.php (add more case items in "index.php" as required). I don't know if that makes sense?? It's far easier to do & show than it is to explain through text Martin_s 25-08-2005, 13:03 Small note... the above script includes a bunch of syntax errors so you would need to check that it all was valid php syntax... Not knocking the example though... just to avoid confusion of the "it doesn't work" variety. sccsux 25-08-2005, 13:33 Originally posted by Martin_s Small note... the above script includes a bunch of syntax errors so you would need to check that it all was valid php syntax... Looking @ it now, it's a total *&%%$ UP:D. A corrected version is below (with a minor addition): index.php: <?php switch ($page) { case "item1"; $title = "Content 1"; $content = "content1.php"; break; case "item2"; $title = "Content 2"; $content = "content2.php"; break; case "item3"; $title = "Content 3"; $content = "content3.php"; break; case "item4"; $title = "Content 4"; $content = "content4.php"; break; case "item5"; $title = "Content 5"; $content = "content5.php"; break; case "item6"; $title = "Content 6"; $content = "content6.php"; break; default; $title = "Default Page"; $content = "default.php"; } include ("header.php"); include ("$content"); include ("footer.php"); ?> header.php: <?php ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title><? echo $title ?></title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> <a href="?page=item1">Item1</a>- <a href="?page=item2">Item2</a>- <a href="?page=item3">Item3</a>- <a href="?page=item4">Item4</a>- <a href="?page=item5">Item5</a>- <a href="?page=item6">Item6</a> footer.php: <?php ?> </body> </html> Teach me not to rush things next time:thumbsup:.

I couldn't exactly flame Tis cold today, the warmth would've been welcome:hihi:. gemma86 25-08-2005, 15:39 Right, I'm finally here to tell you what's wrong! I've used a tutorial on another site: http://codegrrl.com/tutorials/php/dynamic_includes.php And this is my problem: I've got it the site working, with the index file using the dynamic includes script, but, the ? feature doesn't work for me for some reason... I was thinking, the idea of putting the pages in another directory is to hide them, so in my navigation, instead of having pages/blah.php, I thought it should probably be ?/blah.php or ?blah.php. Before I tried this, my navigation was set up to be pages/blah.php but putting in index.php?blah.php didn't work, and also it doesn't work using ?/blah.php or ?blah.php in the navigation. Using both of these directory methods, the header and footer stuff shows up, just not the main content that varies on the page, it's saying that the page cannot be found. I hope someone understands that! If you want to have a look at what I've done so far, you can visit the site (http://www.starstruk.net/tom/index3.php). I've changed it back so the navigation is pages/blah.php gemma86 25-08-2005, 15:40 Btw, thank you to you all who replied earlier! gemma86 26-08-2005, 20:29 Um, help? (sorry to be a pest and bump it up ;) ) sniperwookie 26-08-2005, 20:42 Originally posted by gemma86 Before I tried this, my navigation was set up to be pages/blah.php but putting in index.php?blah.php didn't work, and also it doesn't work using ?/blah.php or ?blah.php in the navigation. Using both of these directory methods, the header and footer stuff shows up, just not the main content that varies on the page, it's saying that the page cannot be found. A quick look would suggest trying /?blah and not /?blah.php your code checks for the file at this line: if(file_exists('pages/'.$page.'.php')){ which would mean you are trying to get pages/blah.php.php instead of pages/blah.php which doesn't exist. gemma86 26-08-2005, 20:46 Originally posted by sniperwookie A quick look would suggest trying /?blah and not /?blah.php your code checks for the file at this line: if(file_exists('pages/'.$page.'.php')){ which would mean you are trying to get pages/blah.php.php instead of pages/blah.php which doesn't exist. Ah, yes - what a silly mistake! I shall try it out! Thanks. gemma86 26-08-2005, 21:39 Originally posted by sniperwookie A quick look would suggest trying /?blah and not /?blah.php your code checks for the file at this line: if(file_exists('pages/'.$page.'.php')){ which would mean you are trying to get pages/blah.php.php instead of pages/blah.php which doesn't exist. That does work, but, because I have the header and footer on the index page and on all the other pages, I get the header and naviagtion twice... I'm guessing, in the navigation, I should just put ?blah, like on the end of the index.php, and also get rid of the header and footer from the other content pages.... *goes to try* UPDATE: the navigation will have to be index.php?page Sorry for rambling! UPDATE AGAIN: Nope, ?page will work fine in the navigation, I just clicked on a link I forgot to change. :rolleyes: sniperwookie 27-08-2005, 08:36 Cool! Glad it sorted it :) gemma86 07-09-2005, 21:50 Yeah, I did have another problem, but I've solved it now, but it wouldn't let me delete the post :p LL200 07-09-2005, 22:16 Originally posted by gemma86 Yeah, I did have another problem, but I've solved it now, but it wouldn't let me delete the post :p hmm, thats annoying after i've just spent 10 minutes trying to work out what the heck you were on about ;) gemma86 07-09-2005, 22:18 Originally posted by LL200 hmm, thats annoying after i've just spent 10 minutes trying to work out what the heck you were on about ;) lol, sorry! The problem was me being generally thick, and forgetting to upload the now named .php pages, rather than there being the .htm pages still in the directories ;) KenDodd 07-09-2005, 22:23 As a side note, you can implement similar header/footer and navigation bar features using server-side includes, without the need for PHP, assuming the host server properly implements server-side SHTML parsing. here sort of explains it http://www.smartwebby.com/web_site_design/server_side_includes.asp At its simplest, you create your regular content page, and then put the following tag where your navbar or whatever needs to go: <!--#include virtual="include.htm" --> and save the page as a .shtml (note the s) document, which instructs the server processes the include. Then your include page, here 'include.htm' needs writing, which will contain the navbar/header, etc. And this can be done just using normal HTML mark-up. Then just updating the one page, again updates all content pages. Admittedly it's a little off topic, but an alternative way of achieving a similar aim. gemma86 07-09-2005, 22:25 Originally posted by KenDodd As a side note, you can implement similar header/footer and navigation bar features using server-side includes, without the need for PHP, assuming the host server properly implements server-side SHTML parsing. here sort of explains it http://www.smartwebby.com/web_site_design/server_side_includes.asp At its simplest, you create your regular content page, and then put the following tag where your navbar or whatever needs to go: <!--#include virtual="include.htm" --> and save the page as a .shtml (note the s) document, which instructs the server processes the include.

Would doing it that way allow it to be previewed on the computer before uploading it? I use dreamweaver and I can't preview a php page without setting up a testing server... KenDodd 07-09-2005, 22:28 Sorry, no again, you'd have to set up a local server to test it. The only benefit is the coding is all HTML based. LL200 07-09-2005, 22:28 glad you sorted it, i went through it a number of times thinking that there was nothing actually wrong :) just as a minor aside, there -could- be a security issue with what you're doing, although I can't prove it. imagine the page is called with index.php?../../../test/somefile now, i know you're 'basename'ing the querystring, but if you weren't, or basename for some reason didnt remove the ../ bits, you could end up including pages/../../../test/somefile.php, which wouldnt be what you intended. (in case you're unaware, ../ means 'go up' a directory) just something to think about when including files like this. i just rang some alarm bells with me. gemma86 07-09-2005, 22:32 Originally posted by LL200 glad you sorted it, i went through it a number of times thinking that there was nothing actually wrong :) just as a minor aside, there -could- be a security issue with what you're doing, although I can't prove it. imagine the page is called with index.php?../../../test/somefile now, i know you're 'basename'ing the querystring, but if you weren't, or basename for some reason didnt remove the ../ bits, you could end up including pages/../../../test/somefile.php, which wouldnt be what you intended. (in case you're unaware, ../ means 'go up' a directory) just something to think about when including files like this. i just rang some alarm bells with me. To be honest, I don't understand that one bit! I don't know php at all, the code I have is just copied and pasted from a website (http://codegrrl.com/tutorials/php/dynamic_includes.php) which claims that its totally secure, but I wouldn't have a clue.... Without you going out of your way or anything, if there is a security issue, what could solve it? LL200 07-09-2005, 22:40 there probably isn't one, but I do PHP professionally and you can sense these things after a while :) a lot of the time, security problems stem from taking data from a user and using it in some way. here, you're taking data on the query string, which I could change in any way I want if I was a malicious user. You're 'cleaning' it using basename, which is good, but then you're using the data in a way which I would not be comfortable doing - ie, using it in a filename. this: \directory\another\again\test.php is the same as this: \directory\another\..\another\again\..\again\test. php can you see how they are the same? so, if you're not careful, I -could- get your code to include (and potentially display) -any- file on the server. I'm fairly sure that this isn't the case with your code though. however, if it was me, I would be more comfortable doing something like: switch($page) { case 'page1' : include ('pages/page1.php'); break; case 'page2': include('pages/page2.php'); break; default: echo 'page not found'; } thats the end of class for today ;) sccsux 08-09-2005, 07:45 Originally posted by LL200 I -could- get your code to include (and potentially display) -any- file on the server. Only on a poorly configured server;). karl101 08-09-2005, 12:05 Originally posted by gemma86 I was thinking, the idea of putting the pages in another directory is to hide them, so in my navigation, instead of having pages/blah.php, I thought it should probably be ?/blah.php or ?blah.php.

Using both of these directory methods, the header and footer stuff shows up, just not the main content that varies on the page, it's saying that the page cannot be found.p Why not do: www.url.com/?link=blah then in your php code (index.php): if ($_GET['link'] == 'blah') { include 'blah.php'; } K. LL200 08-09-2005, 12:09 i guess short urls are (for some reason) more 'cool' www.url.com/?blah is 'better' than www.url.com/?page=blah spiffymonkey 08-09-2005, 12:12 Originally posted by LL200 however, if it was me, I would be more comfortable doing something like: switch($page) { case 'page1' : include ('pages/page1.php'); break; case 'page2': include('pages/page2.php'); break; default: echo 'page not found'; } thats the end of class for today ;) A less 'code-rich' way would be to do this: $pagearray = array ('page1' => 'pages/page1.php', 'page2' => 'pages/page2.php', 'page3' => 'pages/page3.php'); if (array_key_exists($page, $pagearray)) { include($pagearray[$page]); } Using a switch to just select different values always seems like a waste of flow control to me :) spiffymonkey 08-09-2005, 12:14 Originally posted by LL200 imagine the page is called with index.php?../../../test/somefile now, i know you're 'basename'ing the querystring, but if you weren't, or basename for some reason didnt remove the ../ bits, you could end up including pages/../../../test/somefile.php, which wouldnt be what you intended. Basename gives you all the characters after the last un-escaped /, so would be about as much as could reasonably done here short of some regexp magic, which would actually just duplicate what basename does :) LL200 08-09-2005, 12:15 Originally posted by spiffymonkey Using a switch to just select different values always seems like a waste of flow control to me :) ...but is easier to understand for the newbie and is considerably less intensive than creating an array and doing an array_key_exists on every page hit :) karl101 08-09-2005, 12:30 Originally posted by LL200 i guess short urls are (for some reason) more 'cool' www.url.com/?blah is 'better' than www.url.com/?page=blah I suppose. But it is easier to unterstand. for the particular problem I've been using: www.url.com/?blah $tmp=each($_GET); // change the get into an array $myid = substr($tmp[0],0,6); // limit to the first 6 chars if ($myid == 'blah') { include('blah.php'); } I suspect the ISP won't allow rewrite in .htaccess so you can't do clever stuff like www.url.com/blah K. gemma86 23-01-2006, 21:11 It's been a while but I have a new problem now... I've got 4Images installed on the server. I didn't upload it myself, it was done through Fantastico (I don't think that's relevant but, just in case...) The url http://www.tom-tied.com/gallery/ which should take you to the index of the gallery is coming up as: Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in /home/glg4186/public_html/tom/gallery/lang/english/main.php on line 80 I don't understand what's happened because I've not touched any of these files. Line 80 in the mentioned file is: $lang['register_download'] = "Please register to download images.<br />» <a href="{url_register}">Register now/a>"; I thought it might be to do with the Register now/a>"; as it doesn't have a "<" at the beginning of the "/a>", like the standard closing link tag... But then, I'm still non-the-wiser on PHP, so, any help please? Joelc 23-01-2006, 22:14 It wont be that, it'll be a few lines above somewhere no doubt, cant actually see without the full code of the script. Joel gemma86 23-01-2006, 22:18 It wont be that, it'll be a few lines above somewhere no doubt, cant actually see without the full code of the script. Joel That was line 80 according to Dreamweaver btw... Thought it'd be ok to post this up as there's nothing specific to my site in this code.

We've not had the gallery up and running for the past couple of months. We closed the site while we sorted some bandwidth stuff out, and had a temporary index page up (which is still up) however, cos people had the gallery in the favourites or history etc, they were still accessing the site.

I'm just a bit concerned at the moment as to how it's got like this. Then my next problem is, after trying to fix all the errors and failing (worst case scenario), how to get the gallery back up with out reuploading all the pictures (and, preferably, with all the keywords still) :| gemma86 25-01-2006, 23:26 Once again thank you very much. I've managed to fix the admin file and am now logged in on the gallery. Just a bit of a problem in the navigation bar of the admin panel now :rolleyes: gemma86 04-05-2006, 22:00 I'm back yet again with another problem.... This time it's for CuteNews - which is a dead simple script for posting up articles/news on a site... http://cutephp.com/cutenews/ I think what's needed here is a bit of code for the index file for the site, but I still don't know PHP one bit so I'm hoping someone will know what to put! Right, onto the problem... I'm having problems with the link that's come up for the comments. My index file for the site has an include for the header, includes for the various folders for the different pages and the footer. I have CuteNews installed in a seperate folder, so it all looks something like this: ROOT FOLDER --> Index --> CuteNews Now when I click on the comments it comes up saying "This page does not exist" and, looking at the link for the comments, it's missing out the part to the CuteNews folder, for example: www.starstruk.net/site/index.php?subaction=showcomments&id=1146691200&archive=&start_from=&ucat=& Instead of: http://www.starstruk.net/site/cutenews/index.php?subaction=showcomments&id=1146748701&archive=&start_from=&ucat=& I had a look at those example pages that's included in the zip file for all the installation and the links to the comments work fine. I was originally wondering if there was anyway of adding/changing the path for the comment links so it works, but after a think, it's most likely to do with where the index file of the site is looking to complete the url.... But I'm not too sure because if you click on 'view source', the link is in full.... Also, if you add the 'missing' bit to the address in the browser it takes you to the CuteNews admin panel... So now I'm guessing I need to have the directory as one of my includes on the index page, but I tried that and it didn't work... I was just going to put it all in the same directory, but that'd mean having two index files, and seems a bit risky with the access to CuteNews... Any suggestions on the code or what to do? btw, it's www.starstruk.net/site Thanks evildrneil 04-05-2006, 23:37 Looking @ it now, it's a total *&%%$ UP:D. A corrected version is below (with a minor addition): And of course (well assuming standard PHP!) should be $_GET['page']... ...not that I would ever forget such a thing of course :blush: |
