My site is basicaly a header - navigation; content - included pages & a footer. The page to include is passed in the URL.

The code I write is simple and works OK with this method

I have tried to include forums, login pages etc. and none of them work.

I have to change the paths e.g. index.php ( my template ) -> including main.php ( forum main page ) -> including config.php

Normaly the path to config.php for the forum would be config.php but as I am including main.php into index.php the path becomes forum/config.php !!

That is the first problem that can be overcome by changing the paths in the code.

The next problem is the worst; Say a login page -> enter details -> submit -> allowed in or error. But for me this will not work - nothing happens even if I input the wrong details. But the code works OK as a stand alone script.

Anyone have an idea how I can get over this ?

I've had this problem before, post a snippet and I could tell you what is going on.

Its very anoying as I like this method of building a site.

Hope the bit below helps if not I will post more when I am back from work.

PHP Code:

// the main.php I am including



require("photo/uplConfig.php");

include("photo/functions.php");



// start of upload script

if (!isset($_POST["upload"])) { // case upload button was not pressed yet

    showForm();

} else { // upload button was pressed; process upload

    upload($_FILES);

} // end else





// one of the functions



//destination= full path to the uploaded file

$destination = $baseFolder . $_FILES['file2upl']['name'];



//************************************//

//  CHECKING IF USER SELECTED A FILE  //

//************************************//

    if (!empty($_FILES["file2upl"]["name"])) {

        echo " " . $_FILES["file2upl"]["name"] . ":<br>\n";

    }

        else echo "Please, select a file to upload<br>\n";



    if ( (isset($_POST["pwd"]) && $_POST["pwd"] == "$passwordUpl") || $passwordUpl == "") { // password is ok



// creating upload-folder if does not exist yet        

        $test = @opendir($baseFolder);

        if (empty($test)) { 

            mkdir ($baseFolder, 0755);

        }

//chechikg if, for some reason file wasn't uploaded        

        if ($_FILES['file2upl']['tmp_name'] == "none") {

            echo $errMsgNoup;

            $ok = "no";

//checking filesize

        } elseif ($_FILES['file2upl']['size'] > $maxSize) {

            echo ("File you tried to upload is: ".$_FILES['file2upl']['size']."Bytes<br>");

            echo $errMsgToobig;

            $ok = "no";

        } else { // file size is ok

okay with all your include paths add ./ to the front of them. This will tell the server to start from the current directory and go on from there. I think that might fix the problem.

[Bonzo]

Thanks for that infinitylimit, I will give that a go later.

I was thinking is there a better way of going about this ? Should I have say the content part as the page with the template header etc. included into it instead ?

Anthony

[Bonzo]

I am afraid that your last sugestion infinitylimit worked OK with the includes etc. but did not help with the scripts.

But I am thinking about my last post - a bit of laterial thinking with you making me think. If I go for a layout where the script is the main part and the header & footer are included into it instead; then the scripts should work OK ?


Anthony

[Bonzo]

I think this must be the way to go but it would be better to start from scratch OH NO !

Anyway having a break now but one question for you all while I am away :

How do I get this line to load the new page ?

PHP Code:

// Was

elseif ( $inc == 'test' ) { include "test.php";}



//Now I need something like this ?

elseif ( $inc == 'test' ) { echo '<a href = "test.php">';}

To much upheaval - leave as it is for now and try writting my own code. Have another look at this when I get time.

I am having a go at redoing the site now - such a lot to sort !!

The including the header/ navigation into the page is working but means a lot more work on each page unless I can find an easyerway.

This has now screwed up my navigation buttons and my pages try to load in the current folder not the folder they should - the old memory is going and I am trying to figure this out again.

Anyway I thought I would let you know how things are progressing.

Anthony

I think if I topup the alcohol level things might improve

[Bonzo]

All seems to be working now http://www.rubble.info/TESTS/site/photo/main.php
just some css to sort then its back deciding what I want to put there !!

The main page now is the content and the navigation is included.
