Simple php question…

@Ness_du_FratApr 05.2006

Hi !!!
I have this page :

[code=php] <?php // SQL database Variables $hostname=”sql.free.fr”; $user=”username”; $pass=”passwd”; $dbase=”dbname”; $connection = mysql_connect(“$hostname” , “$user” , “$pass”); $db = mysql_select_db($dbase , $connection);

$getid = $_GET[‘pagetitle’]; $url = “http://enfantsdelo.free.fr/persosphp.php”;

$pagetitle = mysql_result(mysql_query(“SELECT pagetitle FROM persos WHERE PAGETITLE=’$getid'”,$connection),0); $title = mysql_result(mysql_query(“SELECT title FROM persos WHERE PAGETITLE=’$getid'”,$connection),0); $content = mysql_result(mysql_query(“SELECT content FROM persos WHERE PAGETITLE=’$getid'”, $connection),0);

$pageName = “$pagetitle”; ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd”> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=iso-8859-1″> <? echo “<title>Les Enfants de l’Ô – Personnages – ” .$title. “</title>”; ?> <link href=”bookie.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css”> <link href=”persos.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css”> <script src=”dom-drag.js” language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”></script> </head>

<body>

<li><a href=”http://enfantsdelo.free.fr/persosphp.php?pagetitle=ruan” id=”ruan”>Ruan</a></li> <li><a href=”http://enfantsdelo.free.fr/persosphp.php?pagetitle=ludmea” id=”ludmea”>Ludméa</a></li>

<?php switch ($pageName) { case ludmea: $div = “ludipix”; break;

case ruan: $div = “ruanpix”; break;

}

echo “<div id=”” .$div. “” title=”” .$title. “”></div>”;?>

<!– Contenu –> <div id=”content”> <? echo “<h1>” .$title. ” </h1>”;?> <? echo “<p>” .$content. “</p>”;?> </div> // rest of the page here, but unimportant [/code]

So, basically, the page displays information about the people (ruan and ludmea), and everything is fine. The url looks like that : ~~[url]~~http://enfantsdelo.free.fr/persosphp.php?pagetitle=ruan[/url], and crazy things happen when I type in ~~[url]~~http://enfantsdelo.free.fr/persosphp.php[/url]. I expected that, because there is nothing specified for that particular page (unable to jump on row 0…)… But, I would like to have a default page if people type in ~~[url]~~http://enfantsdelo.free.fr/persosphp.php[/url] (cause I’m sure they will do it, just to know what happens).
How can I do that ?
Thanks a lot for your help !!!!

@rch10007Apr 05.2006 — #I would put the whole page in a if{}else{} statement so if there is no request method, they can view whatever you want then to view or redirect them if the land on the page and then the else would be the rest of the page like you have it.

[code=php]
 if(!isset($_REQUEST['method'])
 {
 echo "Default page stuff";
 }
 else
 {
 ...the page like you have it now...
 }
 [/code]

hope that makes sense!

Oh, thanks a lot !!! I thought it was something like that, but I couldn't really figure it out (especially the $_REQUEST thingy)

I'll try it at once !!!

(so, I put method in the request thingy ? why is that ? (I'm still learning...))

 ~current site here~

[code=php]
 if(!isset($_REQUEST['method'])
 {   //that's line 21
 echo "Default page stuff";
 }
 else

MM... I just tried this one, and it tells me "unexpected { on line 21", and that's all... ?

thanks ! I tried it, but it doesn't work either. I get the "unable to jump to row 0..."... why is that ?
