PHP - Display Content On Index.php And Not On Index.php?dynamic

An open question this, and one that may or may not bear fruit. But here we go anyway.

index.php is a special case I feel because it is often the default script that is called for a web site. Moreover, I keep mine in the freely available root directory, but the rest of my php is out of the root for security purposes - in a directory called "lib".

The app I am working on at the present time requires that a user logs on first. So, the code I have in my index.php is very simple:

Code: [Select]
<?php

/* Require Log In */

require("lib/ezLogin.php");

?>

This at least is what I have presently. So I have a few questions:

1. Is treating index.php as a special case, a reasonable approach would you say?
2. Is the separation of the rest of the non-client php files a real security improvement?
3. When you declare the css path, do you use absolute path names? If so, how might it be done so it will work on local (testing) AND the main server (production) with no code change?
4. includes_path - I assume this is the path to the includes directory. However, I am not sure/happy/comfortable with this just yet. Can more than one path be included in this? (I have Googled around but still unhappy) If so, how so? Does this approach works across platforms? If not, is there a way to make it?

Many thanks for any help.

I have two files

an sample.html which has just a search box some javascript on it to display images when users start typing on this search box.

the sample.html  works when i entre localhost\index.html

now, i have an index.php.

when i

include("index1.html");

the search box appears but the javascript does not work?

why? 

do i need to relink the following in my sample.html???
<script type="text/javascript"  src="autocomplete/lib/jquery.js"></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='jquery.autocomplete.js'></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="jquery.autocomplete.css" />

fyi i am using wordpress.

So I've searched for a few hours already, and decided to give in to asking on a forums.

On the site I'm working on, I want the navigation to look like www.website.com/index.php?id=2 instead of www.website.com/contacts.htm

Also, the way I did it before, I renamed my main home page as 'main.php' and when you go to the site, index.php will display what's on main.php, but will still show www.website.com/index.php?id=1.

I've done it before a few years ago, but I lost the site and forgot how to do it. I'm pretty sure there's a if/else if statement that comes into play, but I don't remember. I hope this all makes sense.

Thanks 

Hi guys

I am getting an error of
Code: [Select]

I am getting an undefined index error. With the following code in dreamweaver.

<?php
              if
              ($row_rsCoffee['image'] == "")
              {
                 echo '<img src="images/missing_image.jpg" />';
              }
              else
              {
                 echo '<img src="images/' . $row_rsCoffee['image'] . '" />';
              }
              ?>

The line the error is at: ($row_rsCoffee['image'] == "") --> Notice: Undefined index: image in C:\wamp\www\coffee\coffeevarieties.php

Can anyone help with this>?

Thanks in advance.

Also, I need my pagination sorting out if anyone can help?!

take a look at my site: http://www.retroandvintage.co.uk/default.php

I've tried multiple mysql tutorials thus far and some of them, have codes like this:
      $Page = $_GET["BLAH"];
      if(!$_GET["BLAH"])
, I get an error of "Notice: Undefined Index: BLAH" in the file location and line number.

Does anybody know what undefined index means and how I can patch up the problem? Thanks!

want to carry over session to help page? but getting the error undefined index.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

//getting my value from database table and put it into session
$_SESSION["user_firstname"] = $data["Firstname"];


//decides on where the user gets re-directed to.
 if ($_SESSION["user_priority"] == '1')
        {
            header("Location: AdminSection.php");           
        }
        else
        {
            header("Location:LoggedIn.php");
      }      

      if ($_SESSION["user_times_loggged_in"] == '0')
      {
         
         header("Location:UsingTheSystem.php");
      }




//Help page
<?php

session_start();
$name = $_SESSION["user_firstname"];

echo $name;
?>

any idea why its not picking up the session?

Thanks

Hello i am new to php and i was wondering if someone knew how to do this. I just need a simple index.php file that lists the files and folders in a directory but i need it to look exactly like this (With Bullets):


Thank You In Advance

(I also need it to open the folder directory if a folder is clicked on and button for Parent Directory)
