PHP - Calling Different .html Depending On Which Link Is Clicked
Hi there,
I've been tasked with the job of re-doing the company website from scratch and I'm having a bit of trouble with some of the logic involved as I'm not a web designer by trade. Or by any reasonable stretch of the imagination. Anywhoot, what I'm struggling with is this: I have laid out the website so for each of the core business units there is one php page, call it 'page x'. On page x there are two sections; a sidebar and a content section. At the top of page x there is a menu bar with a links to a different category (eg. services, products, about, contacts, etc). What I have at the moment for page x is an INCLUDE statement in each of the subsection which pulls through a html page and plops it down in the right place. What I am struggling with is how to use the links at the top of the page to pull through a different html page depending on what link I click. I was thinking that I could use something a couple of variables, $sidebar and $content, and then some kind of on-click function to pass a string to each of the variables and then use the INCLUDE statement to call the correct pages. What I have tentatively come up with is this : Code: [Select] <a href=#><img src="/MS_Images/service_hlight.jpg" width="100" height="42" onclick=$sidebar = "OutsourceIT_Website/Managed Services/services_side.html" /></a> and then: Code: [Select] <?php include $sidebar; ?> Would this work in principle? How do I go about making sure that the variable in the link is declared properly? Is there a better way to go about doing this that I am missing due to my ignorance? Hope someone can help because Uncle Google is getting fed up with my vague search terms. Similar TutorialsHello, I had a web page which had sharing (share issue on facebook, twitter....) and I want to record what each user had shared. So, they will click on alink to share it. I want to call a php function when the user click on a link, whats the best method to do this? Thanks in advance I have a page that reads from a database to list employees from different states. Under each name is a link that pulls up a new window with a contact form. My goal is to get the name from that link to appear on that new window. (Which I will then use to ultimately add the name into the email that was generated so the recipient can know who the email was intended for.) I've tried using the GET and POST methods but nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated greatly. I will name my firstborn after anything you desire. I've included my code below. (The last line is what I've been primarily working with) Code: [Select] //Open Database Connection $db = open_db_connection(); $sql = "SELECT DISTINCT 1 from users where active = 'Y' and show_on_contactus = 'Y'"; $results = mysql_query($sql, $db); $emaillink = "<a target='main' onclick=window.open('contactform/contactCentral.php?name=$state_row[state]','popup','width=380,height=400,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=yes,directories=no,location=no,menubar=yes,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false>"; if(!mysql_num_rows($results) == FALSE) while($row = mysql_fetch_array($results, MYSQL_BOTH)) { echo "<ul id=\"directors\">\n"; $state_sql = "SELECT * from users where active = 'Y' and show_on_contactus = 'Y' and state_full = 'indiana' order by last_name"; $state_results = mysql_query($state_sql, $db); if(!mysql_num_rows($results) == FALSE) { while($state_row = mysql_fetch_array($state_results, MYSQL_BOTH)) { echo "<li>\n"; echo " <div class=\"fl dirimg\">\n"; if($state_row[photo] == "") { echo "<img border=\"0\" width=\"61\" height=\"85\" src=\"images/exe_placeholder.jpg\" alt=\"$state_row[first_name] $state_row[last_name]\" />\n"; } else { echo "<img border=\"0\" width=\"61\" height=\"85\" src=\"n2team/pictures/$state_row[photo]\" alt=\"$state_row[firstname] $state_row[last_name]\" />\n"; } echo " </div>\n"; echo " <span class=\"fr\">$state_row[first_name] $state_row[last_name]<br />\n"; echo " $state_row[title]<br />\n"; echo " $state_row[city], $state_row[state]<br />\n"; echo " $emaillink Contact $state_row[first_name] </a></span></li>\n"; } I have a "Members" page that displays my organizations members info via My SQL. Currently, the database displays "State" quick links at the top and has the members organized by State down the page. If you click on one of the State links at the top, it will navigate to the section of the page with that state and associated members. I want the members associated with a specific state to be displayed only once I click the associated state link -- instead of all of the information showing at once like it is now. The page I am referring to can be seen at this link: http://homesforhorse...rs.com/members/

User sees Team1 vs Team2 When he clicks "team2" it gets registered somewhere before he clicks "bet" wich inserts all his bets somewhere. I know with a submit button I can have a new record created when clicking it, but is it possible to do with a text link? Hi, I'm not super fluent in PHP or whatnot, but I currently have a website set up with an index.php to load the content pages within it. As part of the template, it consists of a header image, links, a photo, and a video. The content of each page loads within the specified area below the "template". Here's my question: My client wants to see a specific picture when they click one of hte links. For example, if they clicked on spot removal, the image beside the navigation should show spot removal and stay there on the index page while the content page, spot removal is shown. Does this make sense? I need help and fast. Screenshot included in attachment. And like I said, I'm not super fluent in PHP/MYSQL, so be very detailed when talking about what to do. I'd appreciate the help. Thanks, I feel like a moron asking this question as it seems to be one of the most common things done with php but I cannot find a tutorial (probably because I don't know the correct wording to search under) on this specific thing.. Anyhow. I'm spitting out a list of the Titles of my test table like so (and its working as expected): <?php $posting_sql = "SELECT * FROM postings"; $posting_results = (mysqli_query($cxn, $posting_sql)) or die("Was not able to grab the Postings!"); while($posting_row = mysqli_fetch_array($posting_results)) { echo "<li><a href='posting_details.php'>$posting_row[title]</a></li>"; } ?> Now as you can see: <a href='posting_details.php'> I am calling a new page, and that page contains this: <h2><?php echo "$posting_row[title]"; ?></h2> <p><?php echo "$posting_row[description]"; ?></p> It's no surprise it's not working (with many variations etc), but I am only familiar with using <form> GET or POST, and these of course are not form elements, so I cant seem to call them the same way. My suspicion (and from the research data I could find) is that I need to pass values in my link: <a href='posting_details.php'> ... I could not get it to work, but I was trying variations like: <a href='posting_details.php?get[title&get[description]]'> but it seems like I am screwing things up even more by doing this.. Anyhow. If anyone could show me a tutorial that covers this specifically or some suggestions on the best approach to this would be much appreciated.. This topic has been moved to JavaScript Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=331164.0 Hi, Is it possible to build a PHP Template page that selects and publishes a row of data from a MySQL Database when a linked is clicked? I would design: Template.php Text links (perhaps on homepage of navigation bar): ProductA, ProductB and ProductC If you click link ProductA Template.php would display data for ProductA and likewise for ProductB and ProductC. I would also like search engines for find ProductA, ProductB and ProductC PHP pages. (Not just my single Template.php) Any ideas as to how this could be done without designing individual PHP pages for each product? Kind regards, Matthew.

In order not to get a huge number of results I am planning to put the above code inside a function and then set the stampforexchange.php page with flags for each country so that when a particular country is clicked only stamps from that country are shown. The following is the above code revised into a function. <?php include ("databaseconnections/conx_stampsforsale.php"); function getCountryStamps($country) { $sql = mysql_query("SELECT country, description, price FROM stampsforsale WHERE country = $country"); if (!$sql) die ("Error Displaying Data.

I hope that makes sense please? Thanks in advance, Jim Hi all, I am trying to produce a script that will send out an email but the user can basically choose how often they get this email... I want to give them the option of daily, weekly and monthly. I have the logic down on paper and in plain English it seems to make sense but I am having a hard time converting this to code: My logic is: 1. find out how often they want to get the email (we will call this frequency, as thats what my database field is called) 2. drag out last updated timestamp (this is called last_updated and is a unix timestamp) 3. some form of compare i.e. if frequency is weekly and $today is 7 days after last reminded alert them as I say this makes sense in plain English but I'm having a hard time converting it... this is what I have come up with so far: Code: [Select] <?php // Connect include("../connect.php"); $query = "SELECT * FROM resumes_bak WHERE jobseekerid = '2610'"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error()); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $current_timestamp = time(); echo "Current Timestamp: ".$current_timestamp; echo "<br /><br />"; $frequency = $row['frequency']; echo "Frequency is: ".$frequency; echo "<br /><br />"; $lastReminded = $row['last_reminded']; echo "Last reminded: ".$lastReminded; echo "<br /><br />"; $daily = strtotime('+1 day', $lastReminded); echo "One day forward: ".$daily; echo "<br />"; $weekly = strtotime('+1 week', $lastReminded); echo "One week forward: ".$weekly; echo "<br />"; $monthly = strtotime('+1 month', $lastReminded); echo "One month forward: ".$monthly; echo "<br /><br />"; if($frequency = 'daily' && /* I THINK I NEED ADDITIONAL CLAUSES IN HERE TO DO THE COMPARISON */ ) { echo "I am daily"; } elseif ($frequency = 'weekly') { echo "I am weekly"; } else { echo "I am monthly"; } } ?> Can anybody help me on my way here, I seem to have hit a wall! Many thanks, Greens85 Is there a way to query some information depending on if a table field DOES NOT include a specific value? I've got a table that contains over 100 locations. I want to organize the data on the frontend by country (specifically US and International). How would I go about filtering out locations that DO NOT belong in USA? $q = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE COUNTRY='USA'"; Alright, so meanwhile i wait for answer on the other thread i started another project, to fix the menu... but it was a bit confusing so now i ask you again!... Heres my current menu.php Code: [Select] <?php include "config.php"; if (!$_SESSION["valid_user"]) { echo '<a href="login.php">' . 'Login <br/><br/>' . '</a>'; } if ($_SESSION["valid_user"]) { echo '<a href="logout.php">' . 'Logout <br/><br/>' . '</a>'; echo '<a href="members.php">' . 'Control Panel <br/><br/>' . '</a>'; } echo '<a href="memberlist.php">' . 'Members <br/><br/>' . '</a>'; echo '<a href="ranking.php">' . 'Rankings <br/><br/>' .

Hi guys! How do I display different code depending on the title/url? This is the code for the form that brings you from "http://www.xxx.uk/index.php" to "http://www.xxx.uk/index.php?name=ro": Code: [Select] <form name="input" action="http://www.xxx.uk/index.php?name=ro" method="post"> Enter student number:<input type="text" name="sid"/> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> Now when you are on "http://www.xxx.uk/index.php?name=ro" I would like another content(but written in the same php file). I tried with _GET, but the problem is that I don't simply want to add a word but a lot of content. With _GET, that whole content would have to be displayed in the title and I don't want that. |
