Uhh, it shouldn't give you a 404 error.....that's kind of weird. Jaded is right about your downloads error though.

opening in a dir above your current one may give basedir errors depending on server config, so watch out for that.

I also bumped into a similar error even though the directory and the file all exist. If i type in the URL for the gallery directly (http://www.my-site.com/gallery) on the address bar, the gallery loads perfectly. But since I want it included in the site layout, the error comes up. By the way, the gallery is its own sub-folder

I then tried putting in the direct URL (http://www.my-site.com/gallery) into the switch statement and even tried the direct linking from the host ( /home/my-site/public_html/gallery) but nothing seemed to work.

The last resort I thought would do the trick was to have the gallery load inside an I-Frame but that didnt work either

The error was:

Warning: main(): stream does not support seeking in /home/mysite/public_html/index2.php on line 72

PHP:

<?
if (!isset($_GET['link_id']) )
{
 
 include 'index2.php';
}
else
{
 switch ($_GET['link_id'])
 { 

 case "music":
 include 'music.php';  //<---- A page like this one loads well 
 break;

 case "gallery":
 include 'gallery/index.php';  //<---- But this has an error. I dunno if its due to the sub-directory 
 break;

 default:
 include 'index2.php';
 
 } // end switch
} // end else if
?>

include ('./gallery/index.php');

just do this

PHP:

<?php
$page = $_GET['article']
    if(IsFile($page) {
        include("$page" . ".php");
    } else { 
    echo("Not a file");
}
?>

___________________

<?php
$var="Working on my sig :-P";
echo =$var;
?>

I think the function you are actually looking for is is_file.

___________________

PHP:

<?php

if(is_file($page))
{ 
  include($page); 
} 
else
{
  echo 'Not a valid file.';
}

?>

I hoped you typed that on the fly because it was full of errors. Plus if you're checking the variable if it's a file, it's got an extension already, so you don't need to add it again.'

EDIT: The way I was looking at it made it look like it was full of errors, un-neatness has weird effects on the eye.

Re: Tutorial: page.php?page=blah / query strings / easy template tutorial (UPDATED)

Hi Ares,

I'm using the method listed below here.

PHP:

<?php

if(isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) && $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] == 'news') {
     include 'pages/news.php';
}
if(isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) && $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] == 'portfolio') {
     include 'pages/portfolio.php';
}
if(isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) && $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] == 'forum') {
     header("Location: forum.php");
}
?>

If a user types ../revised/ I would like it to go to --> ../revised/?studio ...which is the entrance home page.

Q: Do I have to use else method?

Thankx in advance,
Arthur

You mean if one goes with no query string? do something like

if(!isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
include 'pages/studio.php';
}

on the page that revised/ goes to.

You should use switch; its faster. I think I got a example in topic post.

Hi Ares,

No. I don't have studio.php file.
The code i'm using listed below...

PHP:

<?php 
if(isset ($_SERVER ['QUERY_STRING']) && $_SERVER ['QUERY_STRING'] == 'filler') {
    include 'inc/filler.inc.php';
}
if(isset ($_SERVER ['QUERY_STRING']) && $_SERVER ['QUERY_STRING'] == 'portfolio') {
    include 'inc/portfolio.inc.php';
}
if(isset ($_SERVER ['QUERY_STRING']) && $_SERVER ['QUERY_STRING'] == 'contact') {
    include 'inc/contact.inc.php';
}
if(isset ($_SERVER ['QUERY_STRING']) && $_SERVER ['QUERY_STRING'] == 'studio') {
    include 'inc/studio.inc.php';
}
?>

However, if you go here, without query string, partial page is displayed (since the query string includes the content).

Regards,
Arthur
