This would be php writing HTML (if I didn't just screw up the simplest script ever).

<?php

echo("<h1>Hi.</h1><p> Teeeeeeeessssssssstttttttttt<br />ing :P</p>");

?>

Or you could just make a regualr HTML file and give it the .php extension and it'd work to.

i was more thinking about using HTML in the index file, because as i'm still learning stuff for PHP, i am using layouts and junk in HTML...

Also, where do i put the code you posted before....?


Do i have to put it in the index.php file only, or all the files?

I am putting a link in all the pages, so where should i put that code?

[Legendary SSJ Goku]

bump.....

Where do i put CCWorld's code???

If you don't already know how to use echo() to write HTML then why are you even trying to do something this complex? You need to start at the beginning, read some PHP tutorials.

[Legendary SSJ Goku]

i knew echo()..... i just forgot about it... sorry i post late at night and i didn't think.

I have read PHP tut's it's just i haven't found one that covers this.....

i just nneed to know where i put CCWorld's code

[Peter]

Just place it where you want it. Simple as that really

[Legendary SSJ Goku]

Welll this is what i have.

index.php

<?php// declare and set varibles$page = $_GET['page'];$inc;// check for no value of page and set to homeif($page === null){ $page = "home";}// use switch statment for page varible and// for each posssible page add a case sectionswitch ($page) { // for the home page case "home": // file to include with home page code and/or text $inc = "pages/home.php"; // prevent the code from running into the next case break; case "page1": $inc = "pages/page1.php"; break; case "page2": $inc = "pages/page2.php"; break; // for anything else entered display error or main default: $inc = "pages/error.php"; break;}// include the file into the current pagerequire($inc);?>

<a href="index.php?page=page1">blasjdbksajd</a>


and it shows

Notice: Use of undefined constant php - assumed 'php' in ********\www\index.php on line 1
blasjdbksajd

I have put **** instead of typing out the directory. Yes i am running it on my computer as i don't feel like spending for ever on the web.

Anyway, i click on the link and gues what at the adress http://****/index.php?page=page1 (i have taken away the adress)

i get the exact same thing as the 1st one... in fact i don't think it even changed pages... and the code for the 2nd is

<?php// declare and set varibles$page = $_GET['page'];$inc;// check for no value of page and set to homeif($page === null){ $page = "home";}// use switch statment for page varible and// for each posssible page add a case sectionswitch ($page) { // for the home page case "home": // file to include with home page code and/or text $inc = "pages/home.php"; // prevent the code from running into the next case break; case "page1": $inc = "pages/page1.php"; break; case "page2": $inc = "pages/page2.php"; break; // for anything else entered display error or main default: $inc = "pages/error.php"; break;}// include the file into the current pagerequire($inc);?>
<a href="index.php">blasjdbsdafdsafasdfaaasdfsadfksajd</a>

The first one is in the main root and the 2nd one is in a folder called pages and the file is in there it's called page1.php

So your server side scripts honestly look like that? Uhm...eh...

[hey]

Umm, let's just say php scripts really mess up when they're all on one line. Copy and paste it exactly like CCWorld had it before.

[Legendary SSJ Goku]

Ok.... i have just fixed that.... i didn't know because i usually don't copy other people.... I write stuff myself!

**tests**

Notice: Undefined index: page in c:\*****\www\index.php on line 3

Notice: Undefined variable: inc in c:\*****\www\index.php on line 4

Warning: main(pages/home.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in c:\******\www\index.php on line 30

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'pages/home.php' (include_path='.;C:/*******\php\pear\') in c:\********\www\index.php on line 30


Nom it's not working...

The code was exactly CCWorld had it was a PHP file and it had a link to page1.php


Any ideas?

[california]

Meh, that was CCWorld's fault for using

 to post codes 

[Legendary SSJ Goku]

so i should fix it by ___________________

**looks blancly at CCWorld and California**

Please some help!

[Bradley]

Well, it looks like when you copy it, it comes out on one line. For me it comes out just as I posted it. If it refuses to come out properly spaced for you, you'll have it add the spaces and line breaks in yourself.

Also it looks like you're trying to include a file that doesn't exist.

Thanks illeatyourhartout ...

Anyway.. i'm going to try the following. Thanks anyway. P.S. Yes i did put it in exactly as you typed it, including every tab... every space everything!

<?php
switch( $_GET['page'] ) {

case 'news' :

include 'news.php';

break;

case 'portfolio' :

include 'portfolio.php';

break;

case 'bush' :

include 'go_to_war_with_iraq_for_no_reason.php';

break;

case 'me' :

print 'war sucks... GO ANTI WAR ME';

default:

include 'news.php';

break;

}
?>

i got that code off the site in the post above me!




EDIT: i have justed tested it and...... ---drum roll--- *hears base drum*


guess what.... have a look at this...

Underfined Index page **IT HAS THE ROOT HERE** Line 2

And it repeats itself a billion times (slightly exgerated)

It then fowarded on to an error 'page can't be found' oh and by the way, the 2nd line in both the news and the other file where

switch( $_GET['page'] ) {
