We have a school project with HTML/PHP, and we need to create a web page. The problem is there can only be a index (or a main page), the rest of them are small portions of code in other .html documents.
I need to find a way to create a function (I think...) so when I click on one of the links, this will change the <body id>, the <title>, and will load a different content in a <div> (the small portion of code).
Resuming: there are 5 categories, when clicked, each one of them should change the <body id> attribute, the <title>, and load a different .html page in the <div>. I'm sorry if some of you find this offensively lame, but I really need some help with this.
Until now, this is what i have:
<?php
$id0="" . $id1; //default
$id1="home";
$id2="iso";
$id3="lm";
$id4="par";
$id5="itasir";
$id6="fh";
?>
<body id="<?php echo $id0; ?>">
Where $id1-6 should be the categories, and the id0 would be the counter or a pointer of the page that should be loaded. Ex. When I click on the "Par" link, $id0 would change to "" . $id4; and the body would load the id0 which contains id4 now... i think... That should be it.
Thanks...
A few things to read – learning is awesome, but of course just being given the code sucks.
<?php
$id0="" . $id1; //default
$id1="home";
$id2="iso";
$id3="lm";
$id4="par";
$id5="itasir";
$id6="fh";
?>
Would make much more sense as:
<?php
$id = array();
$id[0]="" . $id[1];
$id[1]="home";
$id[2]="iso";
$id[3]="lm";
$id[4]="par";
$id[5]="itasir";
$id[6]="fh";
?>
That way you can easily use numbers to get the one you need.
You are probably going to use variables in the URL using $_GET.
If the URL is http://www.example.com/index.php?page=1, then $_GET['page'] would be equal to 1.
That lets you write some PHP that does different things based on the URL.
You will then likely use file_get_contents (http://php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php) to load in the contents of the right file.
Easy!
