I’ve got a page ( [url]http://coachrandom.furtopia.org/chronology.php
Here’s what I mean by nested includes. This is the code for the page [url]http://coachrandom.furtopia.org/chronology.php?semester=1&month=2
Main page:
[code=php]<?php
include(“./inserts/head.htm”);
echo(‘<link type=”text/css” rel=”stylesheet” href=”./CSS/setup.css”>’);
echo(‘<link type=”text/css” rel=”stylesheet” href=”./CSS/listing.css”>’);
$inserts=array(“./chronology/semester0.htm”,”./chronology/semester1.htm”, “./chronology/semester2.htm”, “./chronology/semester3.htm”, “./chronology/semester4.htm”, “./chronology/semester5.htm”, “./chronology/semester6.htm”, “./chronology/semester7.htm”);
$max = count($inserts); // get total inserts
$i = (isset($_GET[‘semester’])) ? $_GET[‘semester’] : 0;
include $inserts [$i]; ?>
<div id=”right”>

What I want to be able to do is to take the different includes, and turn them into one single PHP file. As far as I know, that can be done using nested while loops (thank you Programming and Logic) The following are basically what the nested loops will have to include:
[list=1][*]
Semester 0
[list][*]
(No monthly includes)
[list][*]
Comics 1-3
Semester 1
[list=1][*]
August 2001
[list][*]
Comics 4-6
September 2001
[list][*]
Comics 7-24
October 2001
[list][*]
Comics 25-43
November 2001
[list][*]
Comics 44-60
Semester 2
[list=1][*]
January 2002
[list][*]
Comics 61-70
February 2002
[list][*]
Comics 71-90
March 2002
[list][*]
Comics 91-98
April
[list][*]
Comics 99-115
Semester 3
[list=1][*]
August 2002
[list][*]
Comics 116-117
September
[list][*]
Comics 118-137
October
[list][*]
Comics 138-156
November
[list][*]
Comics 157-175
December
[list][*]
Comics 176-178
[b][u]And so on…
Note that Semester 3 has FIVE months, not four, so that will have to be taken into account. Semesters 0 and 7 have no monthly inserts, since there are so few comics in those two “semesters” (Semester 0 contains 3 test comics and semester 7 contains censored comics and guest strips by Scott Ruhl), but that can be dealt with easily.
Anyways, the question is, how do I do this?
