PHP - Simple Dynamic Content Site Help
This might be a very easy problem to solve. I am literally brand new to php.
I am trying to create a simple site that will load content depending on what page 'id' is in the URL and if it doesn't exist to show a page for that scenario. eg index.php?id=1 will show the page 1.php It works fine apart from showing an error when there is no id at all, eg www.website.com will show an error but www.website.com/index.php?id=1 will show a page I want to be able to show the homepage if there is no 'id' at all. Code: [Select] <?php $id = $_GET['id']; if(file_exists("./".$id.".php")) { include ("./".$id.".php"); } else { include ("404.php"); } ?> Any help is appreciated Thanks Similar TutorialsI'm currently running a classified ads site and planning to display my own content from database combined with and external site rss. So here is what i got right now after the db query for the jobs ads (procedural php),
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($results, MYSQLI_ASSOC)){ echo '<div class="media margin-none"> <a class="pull-left bg-inverse innerAll text-center" href="#"><img src="'.$foto.'" share_alt="" width="100" height="100"></a> <div class="media-body innerAll"> <h4 class="media-heading innerT"> <a href="' . $row['title'] .'-da' . $row['id_ad'] .

'</a> <small class="pull-right label label-default"><i class="fa fa-fw fa-calendar-o"></i> ' . $row['date_created'] . '</small></h4> <p>' . substr(ucfirst(strtolower($row['description'])), 0, 80) . ' ...</p>'; echo '</div> </div> <div class="col-separator-h"></div>'; } echo pagination($statement,$per_page,$page, $url_filtros, $filtros); ?>it is the while loop that i use to display ads from my database, what could be the best way to display (in this same loop?) other site's rss feed so i can show my content combined with the external rss? Thanks Is there a way to create dynamic content without the use of a Content Management System? I simply want to click on a link in my navigation menu and have that display the content in a div section and keep the content in a separate folder on the server. I didnt want to have to use a CMS to accomplish that because every other feature of it will be unused as I just simply want to display the content in a div when I click on the link. I use a simple test server on my Home PC that I use to format the articles in html from documents I have wrote in LibreOffice, so I dont really need all the features and sophistication of full blown CMS. But I also dont want a bunch of different files in my root folder if I can avoid it. I would rather keep the content in a separate folder and just pull it from there and display it on the main page when the link is clicked. Anyway, I dont know if its even possible or if its the best way, so I am open to suggestions as well. Some of the documents are quite long (like several chapters) and some are much shorter (just a few pages). Any help and ideas are much appreciated. Hello Im trying to work out how i can display 2 sets of dynamic content depending on a link clicked. Im currently using css, html, php & mysql. I have my database set with a unique id for each row of data. Heres what i am trying to get to work. I have links in div1 that pull info depending on different fields and display it in div2 (eg link 'title' will pull down the 'title' field, link 'author' would pull down the 'author' field) the info displayed in div2 is a series of dynamic links that i want to display the content of that row in div3 (eg the link 'title' 'math' would display all content from its row using the unique id) i am able to set up the links (div1) to display content in div2 and the div2 dynamic links to display content in div3. But when ever i click a dynamic div2 link it displays the info in div3(like it should) but div 2 reverts back to default(which it shouldnt). how can i display the div2 dynamic links while displaying div3 content? ive tried using a switch statement and also a form action statment ( if(action == title){display info}; ) is there something i can try to get this to work... i know it can be done using html frames but i want to stay away from frames as they are just crap (well i think they are) any help or advice would be great. cheers P0PZ ps. i hope i have explained what im trying to achieve ok... if i havent just let me know and ill try again. Hey everyone, I'm new to web programming so I thought I would join a active community to help me out. Anyhow, I'm making a game portal and I want the users games to have a url like so... games/username/gamename. From what I understand I could get this structure by simply using data from my login session(username) and using my upload form(gamename) and mkdir. Then I would need to have an index page inside every gamename folder? How would I add the index pages inside such folders. This way seems pretty inefficient to do considering I could pull the games dynamically in a single php file. Is there a way I can make my url look nice and still use one file to handle the embedding of the games, comments etc. Thanks Firstly, I'd just like to say hello, seeing as this is my first post. I've had a look about and I think I'm going to enjoy my stay here. Now, here's my problem. I'm using $_GET to power dynamic-content. Code: [Select] <?php //creates page variable $page = isset($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : 'home'; ?> Code: [Select] <?php //checks if there is content for the chosen if(file_exists('content/'.$page.'.php')) { //if there is, it is included include('content/'.$page.'.php'); } else { if(file_exists('content/404.php')) { //if their wasn't any content include('content/404.php'); } } ?> So say, for example, I have "Hello World!" in a file called helloworld.php and I go to websiteurl.com/helloworld (I've set up .HTACCESS to ignore "index.php?page=") The "Hello World!" would display fine. The problem I'm having is if someone tries an url like this: websiteurl.com/directory/file It will display the content for the default (in this case home, since that's what I set it to at the start) in the directory. This means there is no styling and I run into a whole load of problems after that. So, that's my problem. Does anyone know how I would solve this? I'm unsure if it's because of the .HTACCESS or the way the PHP is being used. I'd also like to know if there are any other security flaws with this code? I'm also sorry if I've been unclear or if my sentences don't make sense (it's rather later and I'm not sleeping lately) And lastly, I'm sorry if I've broken any forum rules, since this is my first post I'm a little weary. Thanks a lot guys. Pete. Hi All,
Am hoping someone can point out my perhaps obvious issue here.
I've a series of links that are dynamically created:
<a class="team-link" rel="<?php the_ID(); ?>" href="#">When a link is clicked, I'm trying to get content to load into this DIV: <div id="single-post-container"></div>I have the following jquery: <script> $(document).ready(function(){ $.ajaxSetup({cache:false}); $(".team-link").click(function(){ var post_id = $(this).attr("rel"); $.ajax({ url : "http://www.domain.co.uk/wp-content/themes/name/loop.php", data : {"the_team": post_id }, type : "POST", dataType : "html", success: function(response) { $("#single-post-container").html(response); } return false; }); }); </script>This is my loop.php file: require_once('../../../wp-load.php'); // Our variables $the_team = (isset($_GET['post_id'])) ? $_GET['post_id'] : 0; echo $the_team; query_posts(array( 'post_type' => 'work', 'meta_key' => 'author_name', 'meta_value' => $the_team )); // our loop if (have_posts()) { while (have_posts()){ the_post(); ?> <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1> <?php the_content(); ?> <hr /> <?php } } wp_reset_query();However, when you click the link, nothing happens. I know loop.php works as I can specify a value and manually browse to it to see the content. I feel I'm missing something obvious as I'm new to AJAX. Your help/patience is very much appreciated Hi all, I'm not sure if this is a PHP question or javascript, so if it needs to be moved can an admin please do so... Anyway, basically I have the following code: Code: [Select] <a href = "javascript:void(0)" onclick = "document.getElementById('light').style.display='block';document.getElementById('fade').style.display='block'">View Availability</a> This pops up a divs with a black alpha background, so that it appears the new content is displaying over the top of the current content. This all works fine, however the content I am displaying in the top level div is (or should be) dynamic. In order for the content to be useful I need to grab the id. Normally I would simply do this: Code: [Select] <a href = "[b]url.php?uniqueidentifier=<?php echo $row['id'];?>[/b]" onclick = "document.getElementById('light').style.display='block';document.getElementById('fade').style.display='block'">View Availability</a> However what happens in this instance is that the page loads with the javascript and the id in the url but it then disappears... Has anyone got any ideas on how I might be able to get around this? Many thanks, Greens85 Hi there, I know that php does not recognize onMouseOver events. however, Im wondering if their is a tricky way to get a javascript response from dynamic text. I am working on a nav menu in a wordpress site. wordpress has a function that displays a list of pages created in the admin. I want to be able to display a secondary list of pages when a top-level nav item is moused over. heres the code: <div id="top"> <script type="text/javascript"> function Show(who) { Clear(); divel=document.getElementById("drop"+who); divel.style.display="inline"; divel=document.getElementById("hn"+who); divel.className="selected"; } function Hide(who) { divel=document.getElementById("drop"+who); divel.style.display="none"; divel=document.getElementById("hn"+who); divel.className=""; } function Clear() { for (i=1;i<=3;i++) { divel=document.getElementById("drop"+i); divel.style.display="none"; divel=document.getElementById("hn"+i); divel.className=""; } } </script> <div id="home-nav" onMouseOut="Clear();"> <ul> <li id="hn1"><a href="wp_demo/profile" onMouseOver="Show('1')"><?php wp_list_pages(include=4&title_li=' ); ?></a></li> <li id="hn2"><a href="wp_demo/services" onMouseOver="Show('2')"><?php wp_list_pages( 'include=6&title_li=' ); ?></a></li> <li id="hn3"><a href="wp_demo/portfolio" onMouseOver="Show('3')"><?php wp_list_pages( 'include=8&title_li=' ); ?></a></li> <li id="hn4"><a href="wp_demo/contact" onMouseOver="Clear();"><?php wp_list_pages( 'include=12&title_li=' ); ?></a></li> <li id="hn5"><a href="wp_demo/hospitality" onMouseOver="Clear();"><?php wp_list_pages( 'include=10&title_li=' ); ?></a></li> </ul> </div> <!-- #homenav --> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="drop1" onMouseOver="Show('1')" onMouseOut="Hide('1')"> <img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/blank.gif" alt="" width="960" height="8" border="0" /><br /> <div id="menu1"><ul> <?php wp_list_pages( 'child_of=4&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=' ); ?> </ul></div></div> <div id="drop2" onMouseOver="Show('2')" onMouseOut="Hide('2')"> <img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/blank.gif" alt="" width="960" height="8" border="0" /><br /> <div id="menu2"><ul> <?php wp_list_pages( 'child_of=6&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=' ); ?> </ul></div></div> <div id="drop3" onMouseOver="Show('3')" onMouseOut="Hide('3')"> <img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/blank.gif" alt="" width="960" height="8" border="0" /><br /> <div id="menu3"><ul> <?php wp_list_pages( 'child_of=8&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=' ); ?> </ul></div></div> Does anybody know a trick to get the dynamic text to be seen by the javascript? for example, if i put a inside the anchor tags before the php script starts, the onmouseover will register it, and display the secondary nav. I would place invisible divs with links on top of the dynamic text with z-index, but I want the text to be completely dynamic and the client to be able to add as many links as he/she wants. thanks! This topic has been moved to mod_rewrite. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=357949.0 Hi, I currently have this code which displays text on clicking the image: <a href="javascript:;" onclick="document.getElementById('text').style.display='block';window.open('url...');"><img src="image..."></a> <div id="text" style="display:none;"> ...text to be displayed here </div> it works fine but I want to integrate this with php which is where I am struggling. I have a mySQL database with 4 fields (id;name;description;url), what i would like to do is name the div to be opened on click with the 'id' field from the database so that it would become '<div id="id"> and then more than one function could be implemented on each page. I would also like to replace '...text to be displayed here' with the field 'name' from the database and '...url' with the field 'url from the database. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Working on a site with a couple hundred virtually identical landing pages to maximize SEO. Rather than hard code the pages, I am wondering if there is a way to have one page that handles all the url's and dynamically codes and loads with title, keywords, content & alt tags all specific to the particular url requested. Seems like the challenge is doing it in a way that does not constitute a redirect. Is it better to do this in the .htaccess? Hi there, I have a simple question - is it possible to send out an html email containing PHP/MySQL code so that when the user receives the email it checks the date and serves up content from a database? I have created a page that works fine online, but when I try to email the page, it doesn't work from within the user's email client (such as outlook, or gmail). When I look at the raw email source, it looks like the PHP code isn't getting executed by the email program. If anyone knows a reason or workaround, I would appreciate it! Thanks in advance, Rick Code: [Select] <?php $day = date("Y-m-d"); // Connects to your Database mysql_connect("empowermentoftheday.com", "username", "password") or die(mysql_error()) ; mysql_select_db("etd_emails") or die(mysql_error()) ; if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) { function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") { $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue; $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue); switch ($theType) { case "text": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ?

I have set up a site for a local orchestra. I have a simple mysql db from which 'News' items are pulled using php. I have set up the following pages: 1. view_news.php 2. insert_news_item.php 3. delete_news_item.php 4. edit_news_item.php All pages are working fine. Now, rather than continually having to do news updates for the orchestra myself, I want to give a person on the orchestra committee access to the above pages so that he/she can do news updates for the orchestra, as required. What is the best way of proceeding from here? I thought about creating a password protected directory and putting pages 2, 3 and 4 above into that directory and then giving the committee member the protected directory password. Is that the way to go? What is the conventional way of doing this sort of thing? Two things to note: I'm new to php and the job is non-paying. I've set up the site as the willing parent of kids in the orchestra. Any advice will be much appreciated. <?php $foo = 5; $too = 7; ${"foo"}++; ${"too"}++; echo $foo; echo '<br />' . $too; $my_var_name = "foo"; ${$my_var_name}++; echo $foo; ?> I understand the part that $my_var_name is going to increment $foo. But I don't understand that when we used ${"foo"} we did not add the $ sign with it. But when we use ${$my_var_name} we have to add another $ sign. why is that? Hi there, I'm a movie freak and I'm planning of building a simple dynamic movie list. There are some movie lister software available on internet, but I want it lighter and customized. Here is the idea: It looks like yahoo mail inbox...I want to create this script based on php and sql. I think this is the right place where can I get some help. Thanks in advance. NaimeniM I wrote this basic script yesterday to process and generate a Google Site Map. And it works! BUT I want to advance this script to accommodate for something else and I don't know the correct path to take from here, but I will tell you what I've found out so far.. Current Situation: 1 - Currently my below script generates urls in the site map like: http://abcdefg.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=29826 2 - I have .htaccess configured to rewrite the urls to the products name data like: http://abcdefg.com/pennies/wheat-pennies/lincoln-wheat-penny-cent.html (just an example) and these urls are ONLY active if clicking on the site links themselves - meaning if I enter: http://abcdefg.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=29826 directly into the url, the url does not resolve to this natural friendly url name. What Id like to achieve (which I don't know what direction I should be looking!): - I'd like my xml output urls (as current) to be written in the natural format (as in #2 above). FYI here is a current example output item in my sitemap: Code: [Select] <url> <loc>http://abcdefg.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=29803</loc> <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> <lastmod>2010-09-24T08:00:00+04:00</lastmod> </url> Can anyone give me some guidance on what method might work for this? Do you think it's more a mod_rewrite issue? Or can this be handled easier with straight up modifications to my below? I'm just a bit confused on what direction I should be looking.. Thanks for any input. <?php header("Content-Type: text/xml;charset=iso-8859-1"); echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">'; //include('config.local.php'); $cxn = mysqli_connect($config['db_host'], $config['db_user'], $config['db_password'], $config['db_name']); $query = "SELECT cscart_product_descriptions.product_id, cscart_products.product_id, cscart_products.timestamp FROM cscart_product_descriptions JOIN cscart_products ON cscart_product_descriptions.product_id = cscart_products.product_id WHERE cscart_products.status='A' LIMIT 10000"; $result = mysqli_query($cxn, $query); $row = mysqli_fetch_array($result); while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) { $formatedTime = $row['timestamp']; echo '<url> <loc>http://abcdefg.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=' . $row['product_id'] .
