So Oli, it isn't so much about using a static page and reloading only a portion of that page (à la iframes), but more about wanting to reduce the amount of code needed to produce multiple pages. Is that right?

If you don't mind reloading the page then SB's earlier method using passed variables is by far the most effective and efficient solution.

no, I want to avoid reloading the page - ala iframes

Mik · 05-02-2004, 08:37

ffs oli i will send you the files.

Then you're stuck with js or iframes then. Afaik, there is no other way to do it dynamically post-runtime within a single page.

Mik · 05-02-2004, 08:42

if you use this method you pass variables for the pages via the index page. Only the include section reloads. Nothing else.

I am working on an artists gallery site using this very simple method at the moment.

LINK
ie <a href="index.php?doc=image1">Image/Job 1</a>

CODE in Index

<?php

//Test to see if there is any URL variable?

if(isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['doc']))
{
//If so then set $doc with the URL.variable
$doc = $HTTP_GET_VARS['doc'];
//The switch statement begins here
switch($doc)
{
case "image1":

include("dsp_image1.php");

break;

case "image2":

include("dsp_image2.php");

break;

default:

break;

}}

else
include("**Start Page**");

?>

For what you want this is simple.

It doesn't matter but doesn't the index page reloads when you click the link?

Bill Posters · 05-02-2004, 08:52

Presumably it has to in order to run through the php if condition/checker and load the new variable from the link url.

Mik · 05-02-2004, 08:53

nope cos the index aint loading just the include - its called fusebox methodology and it works with PHP versions: 4.06, 4.1.x, 4.2.x, 4.3.x and up

use it for everything and it works fine.

trust me.

Bill Posters · 05-02-2004, 08:56

It sounds quite a bit beyond me at the mo, but I'd be interested to see that in action.

smallbeer · 05-02-2004, 08:58

hmmm...I'll have a read.

But...(and I got to go out now)...surely when you click a link to index.php, index.php gets loaded/reloaded???

Stickman · 05-02-2004, 09:00

Could have knocked up a page for each in the 3 hours you lot have been fussing.

Women, eh?

Bill Posters · 05-02-2004, 09:03

So could Oli, but he's buried under a pile of self-designed calendars.

Mik · 05-02-2004, 09:14
