PHP - Using A Html Template With Includes Can't Read From $_get
I am trying to make a site with content in databases and using some template html files for the layout. The problem I am having is that the code is executing in the template directory and can't therefore read the value from any $_GET that is on the url used by the user. I hope you can understand my meaning. Let me give an example of the structure..
The user visits "www.example.com/search.php?q=something" The file "search .php" just contains a function call to display the page; e.g. DisplayPage("search"); The DisplayPage function uses CURL to read the contents of a HTML file (/templates/search-template.htm) into a string. It then uses preg_replace and str_replace to replace some markers that are in the template, with data from the database. At the end of the function it simply echoes the string. The template files contain some includes, which work fine, but the code executing within them "thinks" it is being executed from /templates/search-template.htm rather than /search.php. Therefore if I use $_GET['q'] in any of those includes, it is empty. I hope that makes sense! Is there any way for me to make the executing code work as if it is being executed from "/search.php" rather than the template? Similar TutorialsHi.
I have an HTML template that I'm going to use for my CMS, and need some advice on the best way to split it up into common elements used across all pages.
I've identified the common HTML and have written functions to include each. I've used functions instead of directly including them on the page for flexibility in the future.(wise?)
/* functions.php */ function show_style() { include_once 'module-style.php'; } function show_header() { include_once 'module-header.php'; } function show_sidebar() { include_once 'module-sidebar.php'; } function show_footer() { include_once 'module-footer.php'; } function show_js() { include_once 'module-js.php'; }And then on the page itself... <?php include_once 'functions.php'; ?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>My CMS</title> <meta charset="utf-8"> <?show_style()?> </head> <body> <?show_header()?> <!-- start section content--> <section class="section-content"> <?show_sidebar()?> <!-- start content --> <div class="content"> // PAGE CONTENT </div><!--/ end content --> </section> <!-- /end section content--> <?show_footer()?> <?show_js()?> </body> </html>A few questions - are there any issues with using the <? tag as opposed to <?php.... I've seen it used in templating before and want this to be as clean and readable as possible. Also would it be better to use a class for this, and include all of my functions within that class? Any advice or alternatives on the method used above would be great Edited by paddy_fields, 16 October 2014 - 03:50 AM. how to get the domain name of a website which includes my includes file. The code would need to be put within my includes file so when any site includes it the file will get the sites domain. to $currentDomain i have tried using: echo file_get_contents() instead of includes but i get the same issue I get back the includes domain. then code i have tried (in the includes file): Code: [Select] $curdomain1= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; $pageUR1 = ereg_replace("/(.+)", "", $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]); $curdomain2 = str_replace("www.", "", $pageUR1); echo "<br> 1# Current Domain: ".$curdomain1; echo "<br> 2# Current Domain: ".$curdomain2; This topic has been moved to Miscellaneous. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=347856.0 I'm trying to use the readfile() function to read a html page which has a video embedded (.swf file). When I call the function, it seems like it just loads the html file but without the dependent files (css,js, etc) When I call it directly it loads just fine. Created a hyperlink 'openvideo.php?id=video' that calls this function below: if($_REQUEST['id'] == 'video') { readfile('/usr/home/site.com/htdocs/content/videofolder/video.html'); } else { echo 'nada'; } Any help is appreciated. A few months ago, and a good amount of time before that, I had people telling me to use isset() instead of performing to see if the variable is empty, such as: !$_GET[''] I know the differences in the function and what they do, but when could isset() be used in a situation where it's better/more efficient then: !$_GET[''] I do use isset(), though. I am using a photo scrolling css animation technique
I'm not sure as far as CPU usage (on server)/(on client) and bandwith usage if loading one picture at a time to scroll versus having a line up "pre-exist" which even then, I would only have five images at a time but what if that is multiplied by 10000 users
Anyway, the current knowledge I have, I have a css animation property that takes in a photo and animates from 0% to 100% keyframe based on margins to make the scrolling happen
In the HTML section there is a list of photos, I would like there to be one line of code that is like a receiver that takes in or reads in arbitrary photo locations and puts that next to be scrolled without interrupting the main animation sequence which I'm not sure if there would be interruption. Anyway I don't know if that is possible. If someone can point out that this idea is obviously flawed then that would be great.
This isn't my ultimate solution, I have yet to see others, I'm just trying to minimize loading and lag
The other problem I have that is interesting is that I want the scrolling to stop when a person hovers over an image, and then resume... I have gotten this to work but only on one image... this is probably a matter of listing out all the key parts of the problem and seeing the solution but
When I had a list of photos that were scrolling together, I could get the whole animation to stop when hovering over the first photo and then take me somewhere (all the photos have working href's) but the animation would not stop if I hovered over any photos after the first. The animation would keep going
So I tried to animate each picture independently and that was just a cluster ****
Still working on that
If someone could point me in the right direction on the main problem of reading in photos live to work with css animation, that would be great.

I try to get website speed of some website, but i can read only ''domain.com'' i can't read website files like css , js ... why ? i use proxies for this job.
here is the php code:
$options = array( 'useragent' => "Firefox (+http://www.firefox.org)", // who am i 'connecttimeout' => 120, // timeout on connect 'timeout' => 120, // timeout on response 'redirect' => 10, // stop after 10 redirects 'referer' => "http://www.google.com", 'proxyhost' =>'85.25.8.14:80' ); $response = http_get("http://solve-ict.com/wp-content/themes/ict%20theme/js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js", $options , $info);but it works fine with http://domain.com/ , but with files css or js it gives 404, using some free proxy servers available ? Thanks. Trying to get this done: Page_1 has many external links, when certain links are clicked i do not want user to go directly to page, but rather go to a special add page_2 where user must click a second time on the link to finally get there. The add page_2 must show on screen the name of the initial link from page_1, it must change accordingly with the link it came from page_1,once on page_2 the hyperlink redirects outside the site. So far i am thinking give an id to the div or "<a href..." on page_1 then somehow have page_2 detect that id and fill in the variable for the final external link. Other wise is there a way to detect a url from incoming? I guess a similar example is how some domain name sellers landing page will indicate the name of the site. Such as "Thisdomain.com" is for sale. same landing page but the name changes according to the domain that was typed. I am creating a series of PHP scripts that allow for someone to append extra information to an Accident Claim Report. One of these scripts lists the files in a directory called the RCM directory. For the purpose of this, there is only one file in the list named "denman2.txt" and a hyperlink is attached to it so that the updated Accident Claim Report can be displayed. However, I would like it so that a style sheet could be applied to the "denman2.txt" text file, and I was wondering how it would be possible for the "denman2.txt" file to be opened in a format such as an HTML format so that a style sheet can be applied to it. Here is my Append Code: Code: [Select] <html> <head><title>Amend File</title></head> <?php if($_POST['append'] !=null) { $filename="C:/xampp/htdocs/rcm/denman2.txt"; $file=fopen($filename, "a"); $msg="Updated Information: " .$_POST['append']. "<br>"; fputs ($file, $msg); fclose($file); } ?> <body> <h1>Do you want to append to a document?</h1> Enter Updated Information: <form action="amendfile2.php" method="post"> <input type="text" size="40" name="append"><br><br> <input type="submit" value="Add updated information to report"> </form> <form action="viewfile3.php" method="post"> <input type="submit" value="View Web Blog"> </form> </body></html> My View File Code: Code: [Select] <html><head> <title>RCM File List</title></head> <body> <h1>Files in RCM Directory</h1> <?php $dir="C:/xampp/htdocs/rcm/*txt"; foreach(glob($dir) as $file) { $list = "<li><a href='readfile2.php'>Filename: $file</a></li>"; } ?> <ul> <?php echo $list; ?> </ul> </body> </html> And my Read File Code: Code: [Select] <html><head><title>Reading Accident Reports</title></head> <body> <?php function myErrorHandler($errno, $errstr) { echo "<b>Error: </b> [$errno] $errstr"; echo "<br>"; echo "End scripting"; die(); } set_error_handler("myErrorHandler"); $filename="C:/xampp/htdocs/rcm/denman2.txt"; $file = fopen($filename, "r"); while (!feof($file)) { $line=fgets($file,1024); echo "$line<br>"; } fclose($file); ?> </body> </html> Any help is appreciated I got a question im using izabi for me im one who loves the software. But there some quirks that they forgot to add when making the mail system. I was wondering how it would be possible to code in a peice of php where it says read after someone read the email. If you need a copy of the mail mail script let me know. Sorry for the long message but I need HELP!!! I'm somewhat familiar with HTML but very little in PHP, and even less in CSS. My eCommerce program is PHP based so I've had to learn to work with it. I did have someone else initially setup and create my website but over the past few years have taken it further myself. I've fiddled with some of it and looked up how to do certain things, such as have only one header and/or sidebar I can use for all pages. I use Dreamweaver CS4 and FTP with FileZilla. But I'm still new at this and have run into a couple of issues.
My webhost is GoDaddy, my website is MikiCat Designs and after fiddling for months, in March finally got my site to where I liked it. Unfortunately, I haven't kept it up. Anyway, I went there a couple of weeks ago and found that the PHP includes I'd had in the HTML files were no longer working. I get the error [an error occurred while processing this directive]. Weird. Worked fine before, now it doesn't. Called GoDaddy who says they didn't do anything . Uh huh. Now I know I didn't do anything since I haven't updated the site in 4 months! So, what could have caused this problem? I've had no idea how to fix it other than to change the index.html to index.php and, of course, do a minor repair on the include. Works fine and my header.php and leftsidebar.php show up again. Yay! Herein lies another problem. My header and sidebar link to other files some of which were HTML files. But those HTML files had the same header and sidebar issues as my INDEX file. This had to be fixed so I changed them to PHP. Still working on the changes. I deleted most of the HTML files from the server. So the links in my header and lefsidebar files now point to PHP files. e.g., gallery.html to gallery.php. When called on it's own, gallery.php shows up perfectly. But, no matter what I do, the header file still tries to load the HTML file!!! It's driving me crazy. What have I done wrong? I've deleted them both, refreshed, cleared cache and uploaded them again but I still get the same error. If you click on Gallery in the header, it tries to link gallery.html not gallery.php! Funny thing is, the leftsidebar now works perfectly and points to the proper PHP files. I'm completely confused now. I don't know why my header is insisting on trying to load the HTML page instead of the PHP. But here's my header code. Lines 41 and 42 work, lines 43, 44 and 45 do not. * Quietly banging head against wall while awaiting help. <html> <body> <!-- begin #header --> <!-- begin Facebook script --> <div id="fb-root"></div> <script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script> <!-- end Facebook script --> <div id="container"> <div id="headerright"> <form method="post" action="search.php"> <input type="hidden" name="posted" value="1"/> <input type="text" name="stext" size="16"/> <input type="submit" name="Search" value="Search"/> </form> </div> <div id="headerright1"> <form method="post" action="cart.php"> <input type="hidden" name="posted" value="1"/> <input type="image" name="Submit" src="images/cartgrn.gif" /> </form></div> <div id="headerright2"> <form method="post" action="clientlogin.php"> <input type="hidden" name="posted" value="2"/> <input type="image" name="Submit" src="images/login2.gif" /> </form> </div> <div id="header"> <div id="PLHIMYFUFUJCDiv" style="position:absolute; left:567px; top:82px; width:490px; z-index:50; white-space:nowrap; direction:ltr;"> <div id="PLHIMYFUFUJCMain" style="width:490px;height:40px"> <ul style="margin:0px;padding:0px;font:italic normal bold 14px Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;"> <li style="float:left;list-style:none;text-align:center;width:98px;height:40px;background-image:url(images/homenav.gif);"><a href="http://www.mikicatdesigns.com" target="_self" title="MikiCat Designs" style="display:block;height:28px;padding:12px 0px 0px 0px;color:#00008b;text-decoration:none;">Home</a></li> <li style="float:left;list-style:none;text-align:center;width:98px;height:40px;background-image:url(images/homenav.gif);"><a href="http://www.mikicatdesigns.com/categories.php" target="_parent" title="Handmade jewelry and accessories " style="display:block;height:28px;padding:12px 0px 0px 0px;color:#00008b;text-decoration:none;">Products</a></li> <li style="float:left;list-style:none;text-align:center;width:98px;height:40px;background-image:url(images/homenav.gif);"><a href="http://www.mikicatdesigns.com/gallery.php" target="_parent" title="Handmade jewelry gallery of past lives" style="display:block;height:28px;padding:12px 0px 0px 0px;color:#00008b;text-decoration:none;">Gallery</a></li> <li style="float:left;list-style:none;text-align:center;width:98px;height:40px;background-image:url(images/homenav.gif);"><a href="http://www.mikicatdesigns.com/aboutmikicatdesigns.php" target="_parent" title="Learn about MikiCat Designs" style="display:block;height:28px;padding:12px 0px 0px 0px;color:#00008b;text-decoration:none;">About Us</a></li> <li style="float:left;list-style:none;text-align:center;width:98px;height:40px;background-image:url(images/homenav.gif);"><a href="http://www.mikicatdesigns.com/contactmikicatdesigns.php" target="_parent" title="Contact MikiCat Designs" style="display:block;height:28px;padding:12px 0px 0px 0px;color:#00008b;text-decoration:none;">Contact Us</a></li> </ul></div><div id="PLHIMYFUFUJCLevel2" style="float:left;width:490px;height:40px;"></div> <script type="text/javascript" src="Pluginlab/Scripts/PLHIM.js">/* PLHIMMenu script ID:PLHIMYFUFUJC */</script> </div> <!-- end #header --> I did some googling and it seems you cannot include a file with an anchor: i.e include "hello.php#foo"; How do you guys go back to the middle of the page of an included file?

Thanks in advance. Hi all My site is build using php includes. the index.php file contains code like <?php if(@$_GET['page'] == "web-design"){ include("includes/web-design.php"); } else if(@$_GET['page'] == "hosting"){ include("includes/hosting.php"); } else { include("includes/home.php"); } ?> I have created a sub domain blog.maplewebdesign.co.uk and a sub dircetory named blog. The link to this part of my site doesn't use includes, I want it to link directly to that sub directories index.php page. This works fine, but then when I click on a different link anywhere on the site my url is as follows www.maplewebdesign.co.uk/blog/index.php?page=home For some reason it is keeping the blog/ in the URL If you want to see go to http://www.maplewebdesign.co.uk/blog/ then click on a differnt link and check out the URL What am I doing wrong? Thanks Adi Hey people! I'm currently working on an free API that i will be sharing with the web community in the next few months and had a question that much of this project hinges upon: Is there a way to allow a remote include of one php file from my server? Case: I am allowing 2 ways for users to access the APi: 1. Using AJAX or cURL accessing a REST method over POST or GET (This part is already functional) 2. Allowing an include of the API Library I'm not sure if it will be completely opensource yet, only free, this is why I don't want to simply provide the source files to users. Example of what I would like to do: <?php include('http://mysite.com/myAPI/classLib.php'); ?> Anybody have a solution for that?? Thanks in advance, E hi This problem is the most strange thing that i seen in the last times. this code works Code: [Select] <?php function conecta () { $host = "localhost"; $senha = "vertrigo"; $login = "xxx"; $database = "emprego"; $conexao = mysql_connect($host,$login,$senha) or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db($database,$conexao)or die; } conecta (); //more ?> but this doesn't work Code: [Select] <?php require("includes/f_banco.php"); conecta (); ?> I never seen something like that. Any ideia? the paths are correct, the bd is correct and the query works when i put the function conecta() directly in the php file. Thanks Ok, I am sure this is really simple for all of you, but I have very little experience with php. I haven't sat down to learn php yet, but I will when I have more free time. In the meantime I have the following issue: The site is http://astoryaday.fromyay.com/ I have all the stories in the /stories/ directory, all named 20110504.html, 201105005.html, etc. Every day I write another story, I name it following that pattern, and drop it into the /stories/ folder. I only want the newest story displayed on the page. So I wrote a little script that is: Code: [Select] <?php $files = glob("stories/*.html"); sort($files); $newest = array_pop($files); include($newest); ?> Now, what I want to do, is in the footer, put an Archive that will look like this: -2012 --January ---03 ---02 ---01 -2011 --December ---31 ---30 And upon clicking on the dates, the story from that day will replace the story that is currently included. Any help of how to get this done would be appreciated! Thanks Hi, Im pretty much self taught when it comes to php, never read any books just picked things up as i go, and im looking for some advice on how i build my pages as i believe im not approaching it correctly. Basically i build an index.php, this contains my header, footer, and any menus i may have, then for my content pages, in this case products, contact, about us i use use an include so these content pages just have content. Now by doing this my address bar looks like this index.php?location=contact.php for the sake of google and search results and so on, am i limiting my ability to be found by not using a differant file for each page? should i include a header, footer, menu etc within my content pages rather than the other way around? Thanks in advance for any advice. OK I'm 98% new to PHP. I'm trying to do my own website and my idea will work something like this: index.php ____________________ Header + Nav {PHP INCLUDE} Footer ____________________ The content will reside in another *.php page If you look at www.avlscotland.com/test 'temporary' It loads default.php when you go to the page which is perfect. I have it working in basic form although only the hyperlinks HOME - ABOUT AVL - DEAD LINK are active at this moment. So it works this way with everything in the same directory, but I want it to load the content from a subdirectory /test/pages/content.php This is the PHP code I am using <?php // Check if page has been requested if (!isset($_GET['content'])) { // Page has not been requested, show default page $content = 'default.php'; } else { // Page has been requested, validate page exists, show page $content = $_GET['content'].'.php'; } // End if page has been requested // Check to see if page exists if (file_exists($content)) { // Page exists // Show page include("$content"); } else { // Page doesn't exist echo '<br>'; echo '<br>'; echo '<br>'; echo 'Sorry, the page that you are trying to access does not exist.<br>'; echo 'Please return to <a href="http://www.avlscotland.com/test/index.php">AVL Scotland</a><br>'; echo '<br>'; echo 'Thank you.<br>'; } // End if page exists ?> I'm accessing the pages using links like <a class="menuactive" href="test/index.php?content=avl">Home</a> What I'm struggling to do is make the PHP look for the content files in a sub-directory. Look forward to any help you can offer. Thanks, Ross |
