PHP - Refresh Current Page After Submit?

I am trying to create a script that alters the navigation div depending on the page the user is on.  How do I get the current page using PHP?

Why this code dont work :S
<?php
    echo '
    <ul>
        <li'; if ($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] == "kategorije.php") { echo ' id="current"'; } echo '><a href="kategorije.php"><span>Kategorije</span></a></li>
    </ul>';
?>


Checking if PHP_SELF is "kategorije.php" do not work, why, and what is solution ?

Hi,

This may be something for JavaScript but I would like to know if and how it's possible to show who is currently active/viewing the page. Users are logged into the system with their own account.

The purpose of this is for a CRM where more than one person may be editing the same record, so undesired overwrites might occur which is what I'd like to avoid with this "other user editing this record" notification.

I'm feeling a little overwhelmed/burned-out/confused...   

I have a page "article_index.php" that contains a summary of each article plus a link to it, e.g.

Code: [Select]
<a href="<?php echo WEB_ROOT; ?>articles/postage-meters-save-you-money">
When you click on a link, it goes to "article.php" and uses a mod_rewrite to transform the "pretty URL" to regular URL that "article.php" can use to query the correct article from my database.

-----

Here is what I need help with...

When a user is on a given article page, I want to sto

- ReturnToPath
- ArticleID

in the SESSION.

I am drawing a blank on how to get the "ArticleID" when a user is on a give page?!   

Hope you guys follow me?!

I have a few PHP files. Currently, if the URL contains page=var, index includes var.php, otherwise it includes home.php.

Apparently, this method makes the site easy to hack through Remote File Inclusion. Also, using PHP5 breaks this method entirely, as no matter what you set page to in the URL, it includes home.php.

What's the best way to do this without using the URL? Give example code if possible. I've used PHP for a while but haven't really gotten past the beginner level. I'd really appreciate any help.

Thanks.

I have an html table that is being populated with links from a specific directory..

I would like the user to be able to click the link and if its a file they will download the file. If its a directory, I woudl like to reload the current page but this time show the contents of the directory.

My main issue is that I have a session variable called 'workingdirectory' that I need to update before I reload the page. I have tried setting it and then calling Location('page.php') but I get the 'cannot change header information' error. I realized I was getting this because I had begun to call HTML code before the PHP was finished. Is there a way to just simply update the session variable, and then make the page reload when the user clicks on a link?

Hi Everyone,

I have this small bit of PHP that when you are on a certain page it will add a class called selected

Code: [Select]
<?php $currentPage = basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']); ?>
<ul id="subnav">
   <li><a href="gallery.php?category=Wedding" id="wedding" <?php if ($currentPage == 'gallery.php?category=Wedding') {echo 'class="selected"';} ?>>Wedding Hair</a></li>
   <li><a href="gallery.php?category=Men" id="mens-styles" <?php if ($currentPage == 'gallery.php?category=Men') {echo 'class="selected"';} ?>>Mens Styles</a></li>
   <li><a href="gallery.php?category=Women" id="womens-styles" <?php if ($currentPage == 'gallery.php?category=Women') {echo 'class="selected"';} ?>>Women's Styles</a></li>
   <li><a href="gallery.php?category=Salon" id="salon" <?php if ($currentPage == 'gallery.php?category=Salon') {echo 'class="selected"';} ?>>Salon</a></li>
</ul>

This is not working I think it's because of the file extenstion 'gallery.php?category=Wedding' is there any way I can get this to work with these extensions

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

I've looked at loads of other scripts that highlight the page but none of them work on mine . Here's part of my code:


$i =1; 
for ($x=0;$x<$foundnum;$x=$x+$e)
{

 echo " <a href='search.php?search=$search&s=$x'>$i</a> ";


$i++;

Is there a function to check the name of the current page? Such as login.php or something like that? If not, does anyone have a custom function already created?

Hello, I got this basic code from a website and it is supposed to highlight the current page on the menu, which it does very well. The problem is that I cannot stylize the font, color or size of the type in the current page menu display. No matter what I do, it always stays as the default font. The other buttons on the menu can be stylized but not the current page. Is there a way to do this?

Code: [Select]
## SNIPPET 1 - THE PHP ## // To be saved in the 'includes' directory as "nav_include.php"

<?php
$menu=file_get_contents("includes/menu.html"); // get the navigation list of pages
$base=basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); // get the current page
$menu=preg_replace("|<li><a href=\"".$base."\">(.*)</a></li>|U", "<li id=\"current\">$1</li>", $menu); // add an id of 'active' to the link and id of class to the list item for the current page 
echo $menu; // echo the HTML list with the current page highlighted
?>

## SNIPPET 2 - THE HTML LIST ##  To be saved as menu.html

<ul id="navlist">
  <li><a href="index.php">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="products.php">Products</a></li>
  <li><a href="services.php">Services</a></li>
  <li><a href="about.php">About Us</a></li>
  <li><a href="contact.php">Contact Us</a></li>
</ul>

## CSS ## for the *.css file

#navlist { margin: 0; padding: 30px 0 20px 10px; float: right; width: 60%; }
#navlist ul, #navlist li { margin: 0; padding: 0; display: inline; list-style-type: none; }
#navlist a:link, #navlist a:visited { float: left; line-height: 14px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0 10px 4px; text-decoration: none; color: #4F4F4F; width: auto; } /* link and visited link styles - the visited state can be styled separately if you wish */
#navlist a:link#current, #navlist a:visited#current, #navlist a:hover { border-bottom: 4px solid #66733f; padding-bottom: 2px; background: transparent; color: #4F4F4F; } /* this line's the style for the current page link */
#navlist a:hover { border-bottom: 4px solid #4F4F4F; color: #4F4F4F; } /* hover state for all the links */

## TO DISPLAY ON THE PAGE ##

<?php include("includes/nav_include.php"); ?>

I'm doing a cURL post to a server and it returns "true No_Error Data was accepted 10356546 3770 false 0 "


Form --> Method=Post --> submit.php (this is the page that's doing the cURL post and the server returns data that appears on this page).


How do I take this and put it into a string?

Hi everyone,

I have this script that identify's the current page in the navigation

Code: [Select]
<?php $currentPage = basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']); ?>
<ul id="nav"><!-- Open Nav -->
    <li><a href="index2.php" <?php if ($currentPage == 'index2.php') {echo 'class="selected"';} ?>>Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="salon-information.php" <?php if ($currentPage == 'salon-information.php') {echo 'class="selected"';} ?>>Salon Information</a></li>
    <li><a href="about-us.php" <?php if ($currentPage == 'about-us.php') {echo 'class="selected"';} ?>>About us</a></li>
    <li><a href="hair-care-advice.php" <?php if ($currentPage == 'hair-care-advice.php') {echo 'class="selected"';} ?>>Hair Care Advice</a></li>
</ul><!-- Close Nav -->


My problem is that hair-care-advice.php has a number of sub pages. How do I get it so the selected class remains selected for all the sub pages as well as the main page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you

i get this error Warning: current() [function.current]: Passed variable is not an array or object..

for this
Code: [Select]
$lastblock = current( ${"s".$row} );
print_r($lastblock);
when i change to this it works..
Code: [Select]
$lastblock = current( $s0 );
print_r($lastblock);
The problem is i won't know the $row seeing as it is in a while loop.  Solution?

hi,

i actually got some code working to add an ID dynamically to a website i'm working on (it was a momentous occasion  ).

here's the code:
in the functions.php file:


$url = 'tanzaniatravel.za.com';
$page = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$page = str_replace("/","",$page);
$page = str_replace(".php","",$page);
$page = str_replace("$url", "", "$page");


i call the functions.php file into the index.php file, and add this as the opening body tag:

Code: [Select]
<body id="<?php echo $page; ?>">
this dynamically adds an ID named after whatever the actual page is named.

now, i make use of the following top navigation structu

Code: [Select]
<ul class="nav-top">
   <li <?php echo ($page == '' ? 'class="nav-top-current"' : ''); ?>><a class="nav-top-lineheight" href="index.php" title="Tanzania Travel home">Home</a></li>
  <li <?php echo ($page == '' ? 'class="nav-top-current"' : ''); ?>><a class="nav-top-lineheight" href="about.php" title="Why use TanzaniaTravel.Za.Com">Why us</a></li>
  <li <?php echo ($page == '' ? 'class="nav-top-current"' : ''); ?>><a href="" title="">Overview and area map</a></li>
  <li <?php echo ($page == '' ? 'class="nav-top-current"' : ''); ?>><a href="" title="">Tanzania National Park</a></li>
  <li <?php echo ($page == '' ? 'class="nav-top-current"' : ''); ?>><a href="" title="">Tanzania Safari Lodges</a></li>
  <li <?php echo ($page == '' ? 'class="nav-top-current"' : ''); ?>><a href="" title="">Tanzania Tour Itineraries</a></li>
  <li <?php echo ($page == '' ? 'class="nav-top-current"' : ''); ?>><a href="" title="">Safari Dates &amp; Prices</a></li>
  <li <?php echo ($page == '' ? 'class="nav-top-current"' : ''); ?>><a href="" title="">Zanzibar Kilimanjaro</a></li>
  <li class="<?php echo ($page == '' ? 'nav-top-current' : ''); ?> nav-top-last-li"><a class="nav-top-lineheight" href="" title="">Contact Us</a></li>
</ul>

you'll see that i've left the $page variable empty. i want that variable to call in the current page's ID, so that only the current page's <li> is active. this, of course, will greatly assist with developing the CSS for the navigation.

i appreciate your help very much. thank you.

After I submit form data how can I force the page to refresh so I can see the changes take effect?

I know this is probably a very basic question.
