using php array’s for displaying pages

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 29.2004

i had a website where i used a php array to display content in a particular table, but i cant remember how i done it and i have lost the old source files.

it worked so that i only had one php file that included the design of the pages and other html files with only the content. No design information was in those other html file.

the actual php code had things like

[code]‘contact’ => ‘contact.html’ ; ‘root’ => ‘home.html’[/code]

it had other bits like GET and things but i just cant remember.

say for example the index was called index.php when you directed the browser at index.php?p=contact it would take the content from the html file and put it in the table where the php code was;

I am greatful of any help recieved, thanks

@violent_jApr 29.2004 — maybe something like:

[code=php]$valid_pages = array ("contact", "index", "home");
$p = $_GET["p"];
$valid = FALSE;
for ($x=0; $x<count($valid_pages); $x++) {
if ($p == $valid_pages[$x]) {
$valid = TRUE;
}
}
if ($valid) {
ob_start();
include ($p . ".html");
$contents = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
echo $contents;
}
else {
echo "invalid page";
}[/code]
i wrote this right out of hand, so there maybe some little bugz (syntax errors) in it, but basically this is the idea

@thekoreauthorApr 29.2004 — well that gave me a Parse error, so now i tried this:

[code=php]<?php
// This **** runs the content.
switch($_GET[p]) {
case content:
include ("content.html"); break;
default:
// Error checking
print "<b>ERROR</b>
<br />"$p" Does not exist.
<br />
<br />You may have entered an incorrect URL.
<br />Please refer back to the <a href="?p=root">Main Page</a> and try again.
";
break;
}
?>[/code]

and that is giving me Parse errors too ?

@thekoreauthorApr 29.2004 — ah this works now, it was my fault, but i would still apreciate info on what i might have done in the first instance or of any more effective ways of perfoming the same desired outcome

thanks ?
