There are a number of ways you can structure a HTML link to get what you
want.
You can have something basic (but not very elegant looking), like
a href=index.php?page=HomeHome/a
Then in your index.php code you'd probably have something like :
?php
$page = urldecode(*$_GET['page']); *
include_once header.inc; //Include a script that contains the
general header information
if(is_file(pages/*$page*.inc;)) //make sure they haven't requested a
non-existant file
{
include_once pages/*$page*.inc; //Doesn't have to be .inc you
could simply output HTML data if that's all your using.
}
else
{
include_once pages/Home.inc; //If the user wanted a file that
doesn't exist, then just take them to the home page (or you could
take them to an error page if that's what you want).
}
include_once footer.inc; //Which would contain the footer if you've
got one.
?
This is approximately how I do it although sometimes have a functions
file I call, or a config file with basic presets, and various other
things. I use .inc (for inclusion) as the file extension, so I can
easily differentiate between .php files that customers will use (such as
index.php, admin.php, login.php, etc..), and the included files.
In the header file I usually have something like that below.

In the header.inc I've manually created an array, then got PHP to go
through the array to add the name, URL and other details from the array,
but that's just to simplify this, usually I pull the navigation data
from a database (or if there's no MySQL installed I might unserialise it
from a file).
There are other ways of pulling the data. If you want nice URLs, you can
have something like /pages/Home/ and then have a mod_rewrite rule in
Apache to then change that into index.php?page=Home, (although you'll
also need to change the a href to the new links. If you aren't running
on apache, you can manually find the page information by doing
print_r($_SERVER), and seeing what bits and pieces you can put together,
but that's not nearly as good or reliable.
Sorry if there's too much info, but I'm guessing this is roughly what
you'll be doing.
If you want to have more than one variable (like say a sub page) then
you add *amp;* between each variable. E.g
a href=index.php?page=Homeamp;sub_page=more%20newsHome -
Archived News/a
You can usually get away with just using ** as the separator but it
probably won't validate properly if your making it in xhtml (as you
should be). Also, if your not sure what the %20 means (a space) then
look up urlencode http://au.php.net/manual/en/function.urlencode.php
and urldecode http://au.php.net/url_decode.

Mr. Kubler,
Thank you for the help. I have to admit, I am still in over my head, I
think. Perhaps I should just stick to static pages...
Anyway what I was attempting to do, in the full picture, was be able to just
switch the text in the text area without actually changing pages. For
example, if the user clicks About Us (from the home page)the page doesn't
change, just the text (in the area I designated for text).
Since I have never used php before (but have read some online and in books)
what I was trying was:
if ($page == home) {echo $home_text;}
elseif ($page == about) {echo $about_text;}
...
else {echo $error_text;}
My problem is that I can't figure out how to get the link-click to assign
the value to the variable. I didn't try any php for that end because I
really didn't know where to begin. Perhaps I am just going about this the
wrong way but from the extremely little I have learned about php, I thought
that I could do it this way easily.
Thanks for the replies and the help. I truly appreciate it.
Hi Christopher,
please buy a PHP Book. Read it and if you have any questions come back.

[PHP] best practice wrt multi-lingual websites, gettext() etc.
I am writing a small(ish) site which will eventually need to be available in several different languages. This needs to more or less transparent to the user, so I am using Apaches content negotiation features, which is working very well. The issues arise once I start looking at PHP and Javascript code. I use JS for client side input (pre-)validation and increased usability, and error messages and such will obviously need to be language-sensitive. The same goes for the PHP code. With PHP, I've got gettext() for this sort of job, with javascript and some DHTML, I don't seem to have many options. One of my key concerns is - for the translation, I need to be able to wrap everything up and ship it off to a translator, perhaps via elance or similar.

[PHP] Multiple queries in PHP
Hi all, I've run into a bit of a problem. I put together a query using mysql variables in the form set @m:= 0; with the select that uses it directly after. For any wondering, the select was using it as an incremental value which can't be hard coded, as the value will depend on the ordering of the results of the query itself. The problem seems to be that while phpMyAdmin would execute this double query perfectly well, php using mysql_query() was having problems, as apparently it can't actually run multiple queries. Now the full query looks something like this: mysql_query(SELECT @m:=0;); $query = SELECT * FROM( SELECT profiles.id, ROUND(AVG(rated.score)) AS `rating`, COUNT(rated.score) AS `total`, @m:=...@m+1 AS rank FROM `rated` LEFT JOIN `profiles` ON (profiles.id = rated.profile_id) GROUP BY rated.profile_id ORDER BY rating DESC, total DESC) AS ranking WHERE ranking.id=$id; $result = mysql_query($query); which seems to be working OK so far, but does anyone know of any potential pitfalls I might face when doing something like this?

Thanks for the replies and the help. I truly appreciate it.
In case this has yet to be answered to your satisfaction...
Your page will *have* to reload when the user presses the button, but
the majority of content can look the same, except for the content you
want to change.
Let's say you've named the button section and its value is home as
in:
input type=text name=section value=home/
When the user presses the button, the form now shows the value of
section as home. PHP knows this has occurred. So you can make any
action occur by simply (in PHP):
if ($_POST['section'] == 'home') {
do_something();
}
In your case, you want a section of your HTML page to display something
else. So, wherever you want that content to be displayed in your HTML
page, do this:
?php
if ($_POST['section'] == 'home') {
echo a bunch of text for home stuff;
}
?
The ?php thingie tells Apache to interpret the next part as PHP, and
the ? part tells Apache that the PHP part is over. If you're using
GET instead of POST for the form then change $_POST above to $_GET.
Every item in a form yields a POST or GET variable which PHP can read,
just as it did above.
There are alternate ways to do this, but the above is probably the
simplest for you.
I recommend Programming PHP an O'Reilly book as a reference for the
language.

The reply I gave you earlier assumes you're doing this with a button,
not a link. If you're doing it with a link, it's slightly different. But
here's what you have to understand first: When you click on a link, you
load a different (or the same) page. Period. Web pages run on the HTTP
protocol, and one of the things about that protocol is that the server
knows virtually nothing about the context in which it's loading a page.
In other words, if you were on Page A and you go to Page B, the HTTP
protocol ensures that the server has *almost* no idea of what you did on
that page. There are some exceptions, two of which are GET and POST
variables. If you did something on a form in the page you came from,
then GET/POST variable will be visible to the server (and PHP) when you
get to the next page. If the method on your form is post, as in:
form action=index.php method=post
then it will see POST variable. If you used the GET method instead, it
will see GET variables.
So if you want to communicate something to the next page you go to, you
will need to do it using a GET variable. GET variables are visible in
the navigation bar above your browser, and POST variables aren't.
So let's assume you want content.php to show home stuff if the user
was in index.php and pressed the home button. Then for the link the
push, you can do this:
a href=content.php?section=homeHome/a
Note the ?section=home part on the end of the URL? That's a GET
variable named section and it contains the contents home. When you
construct the content.php page. Put in a variant section as I
explained in the last email, except make sure it tests for the GET
variable section, like:
if ($_GET['section'] == 'home') ...
If you've programmed in other languages, PHP is a little difficult to
grasp, just because it has to deal with the HTTP protocol, and you're
embedding PHP in HTML pages. Otherwise its syntax is almost completely
C-like.
HTH,

That's a good idea. Now I just have to figure out how to make it all-encompassing enough to handle one, or more, selection-control and compare current values with the values that were previously selected. Oh, the holes we dig for ourselves. :-) Cheers, tedd What about an onChange javascript function that checks all the boxes that need input. Call it whenever any of the inputs change and in the onSubmit for the form, check it again. I currently use onClick for the select control and that works well enough. It's not the trigger that's the issue. If I decide to do that, then I have to loop through all the tag ID's, get the current values, and check them against what was presented. This just requires some thinking and I'm about all thought-out for the moment -- the end of another 12 hour day. Thanks for your input.

Re: [PHP] Captha Image Matching the Session Value.
Hey guys sorry to interrupt but, the problem is rather obvious if you try and put the img src='captcha.php' / - which is the captcha image it self - anywhere in the script you are effectively overwriting the session variable - since you are initializing the form file session in the very beginning of the form file, and then calling the captcha file which over writes the session file, but that does not automatically update in the form file so there you get the old value. If you make the check if the text is correct after the submit of the form, it should be correct. I hope I have made myself clear enough.

For example, when a user clicks the Home button on my page it would cause $page = home; or clicking the About Us button will set $page=about_us; etc. I think this should be fairly simple but being completely new to php I just cannot seem to get it right. Any help would be greatly appreciate. Thank you in advance. Christopher, Rather then criticizing you, I would like to point you in the direction that you describe in your responses to the others that are. So, it sounds to me like you do not want to reload/change pages just to change the content of the current page. With PHP alone you cannot load new content without reloading the entire page, or involving one of the other methods listed below. I would say that you have two avenues to get this done. The first using a meld of AJAX PHP http://nodstrum.com/2007/02/27/ajaxcontentload/ http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/scripts/ajax-dynamic-articles/ajax-dynamic-articles.html http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/scripts/ajax-dynamic-content/ajax-dynamic-content.html The second is with Javascript and/or CSS http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/HTML/Preloading-HTML-Content-with-CSS/ http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/switchcontent.htm Hope these help. -- Jim Lucas Some men are born to greatness, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.

Re: [PHP] best practice wrt multi-lingual websites, gettext() etc.
Dunno if it's a best practice, but I store all the translations in the db for easy manipulation and extraction to a file for others to translate. That obviously involves both import and export utilities. At work we to the translation in real time thru a render page that combined the data for the form as well as the labels and buttons. Personally I disagree with this approach and feel that caching out the page to either HTML or XML is quicker and cleaner. But that's just me. A number of pup apps take the approach of storing the label translations in variables inside language folders ( phpmyadmin has this ). That is also not a bad approach but is slightly slower and I can't help but feeling that serving up a static page created by code is a better solution. It will be heavier on the management side, but my experience is that this mgmt activity drops off quickly after the first week or two of that form being in production.

I use JS for client side input (pre-)validation and increased usability, and error messages and such will obviously need to be language-sensitive. The same goes for the PHP code. With PHP, I've got gettext() for this sort of job, with javascript and some DHTML, I don't seem to have many options. One of my key concerns is - for the translation, I need to be able to wrap everything up and ship it off to a translator, perhaps via elance or similar.

Re: [PHP] New PHP User with a simple question
You may or may not find this worth reading: http://richardlynch.blogspot.com/2007/07/php-in-html.html Bottom line is that what you are trying to do can't be done in PHP. You'll have to resort to Javascript and DIV tags with display: none; switching to display: block; -- Some people ask for gifts here.

Re: [PHP] Captha Image Matching the Session Value.
Configure your browser to prompt you for cookies. That will make sure you are doing the session bit the way you think you are. Then add some error_log statements when you set or read the secret word. You'll soon figure out exactly how/why your session has the OLD secret word in it. -- Some people ask for gifts here.

Re: [PHP] best practice wrt multi-lingual websites, gettext() etc.
I can't help with the bits you are asking about, but I can give this advice: Don't rely solely on the Apache/browser content-negotiation, please. This one time... I was in Paris. I was at an Internet Cafe. I couldn't change browser settings. Some sites that I knew were available in English showed me only French, and no way to change it. Despite my using a computer with a French keyboard, my French language skills remained somewhere around the Bonjour. Parlez-vous Englias? level. -- Some people ask for gifts here.

Re: [PHP] Multiple queries in PHP
PHP/MySQL and the various functionality such as @var are all per-connection expressly so that you CAN do this type of stuff.
