PHP Includes on a part of a page when clicked

nigelwong · 12-20-2005, 08:24 PM

Does anyone know a tutorial that teaches you how to: When A Link is clicked a portion of the website changes according to the link.Something to do with <?php $get or something similar....

Thanks!

PHP Code:

  
<a href="?page=page_name">Page Name</a>

 
<?php

 
$page = $_GET['page'];

 
switch($page)

{

  case: 'page_name'

  include("somefile.php");

  break;

}

?>

//Etc

Hope this helps...I'll try to find you a tutorial tho

can you please give an example where a link could switch between several includes (several page_names)?

I think what you mean is that a click on a link changes some content without reloading the page, right? For that you need CSS and JavaScript.

PHP Code:

 
<a href="?page=about.php">About</a>

<a href="?page=contact.php">Contact</a>

<a href="?page=links.php">Links</a>

 
<?php

 
$page = trim($_GET['page']);

//Meh, trim not necessarily needed, just an ol' habbit I guess:P

 
switch ($page)

{

  case 'about': 

        include('about.php');

        break;

  case 'contact': 

        include('contact.php');

        break;

  case 'links': 

        include('links.php');

        break;

  default 'home': 

        include('index.php');

}

 
?>
