I have a html project, with various template files. I want to display breadcrumbs, in all pages except on index.php and contact.php.
I have the breadcrumbs working; what I can't get it to work is the condition for only displaying it if the pages are not index.php or contact.php:
So far, I know I could do this if it was in the other way around, only display it on those pages:
$noBreadcrumbs = array("index.php", "contact.php");
foreach ($noBreadcrumbs as $page => $pageName) {
if (stripos(filter_input(INPUT_SERVER, 'REQUEST_URI', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING), $pageName)){
echo '<div class="breadcrumbs container">';
require ("breadcrumbs.php");
echo '</div>';
}
}
But because it has to be in the other way around.... I don't know how to do it! If I echo de request uri it appears also with the project name (thousand_motors/index.php), and.... I am stuck. I can't print only "index.php" and even if so, I don't know how can I do the foreach but when they are not those pages...
Any suggestions?
Thank you
have you tried

Done a lot of searching but I can't really find what I'm searching for I think, or I don't understand it...
I have a site with probably 50-60 links in 5-6 dirs.. its a gaming site..like a 'guide' for the game...
say i have the following directories:
/basics/
/advanced/
/misc/
/support/
and each dir has the links..
/basics/gamebasics.php
/basics/pets.php
etc
/advanced/weaponfusing.php
/advanced/imbuing.php
etc
I'd rather not have to type out all the links, so I was thinking of making all the files in their approp. directories... and using something like
$files = scandir(dir/');
foreach ($files as $value){
$file = explode('.',$value);
}
etc...would that iterate through the 6 directories with my pages in them and could it be put in a simple li loop or something (i'd clean it with css) so that I dont have to type all the links out a second time (after creating each file)? how would i go about doing something like this? is there a better way?
EDIT:EDIT:EDIT:
So I just threw them all in an array like:
$pages = array('Home' => 'home.php',
'City Tour' => 'basics/tour.php',
'Daily Signin' => 'dailys/dailysignin.php',
'Game Mechanics' => 'misc/mechanics.php',
);
$currentPage = basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
then i ran this:
<div id="mBox">
<h1>basics</h1>
<div class="mGroup">
<?php for each ($pages as $filename => $pageTitle) {
if($filename == $currentPage) { ?>
<ul>
<li class="current"><?php echo $pageTitle; ?></li>
<?php } else { ?>
<li><?php echo $pageTitle; ?></li>
<?php } } ?>
</ul></div>
Now my nav reads:
basics/tour.php
dailys/dailysignin.php
misc/mechanics.php
etc, as filenames...I'm on the right track, but I need the nav to display the first part of the array (the name), rather than the pathfilename.ext. Thats my first fix.
Secondly, is there a way to take out the paths and use them between my h1 tags, so that the menu titles are the folder paths? I'm still trying to figure out the arrays within directories or however I'd say it, so it's a bit confusing to me. Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: I've updated this question with the working code, but I've left the content of the text alone so you can see what I was trying to do in the future and also because there were a few other things I wanted to do aside of the initial question.
I have an array that has an html list in it, the php is shuffling the list to echo a random order. Within the list items in the array, I want to include a php variable, right now this is what I have:
<?php include('includes/header_topright_content.php'); ?>
<ul data-options="animation:fade; slide_number:false; pause_on_hover:false; timer_speed:5500; navigation_arrows:false; next_on_click:true; timer:true; bullets:false;" data-orbit>
<?php
$links = array(
'<li data-orbit-slide="headline-1"><img /><div>'.$Slide1.'</div></li>',
'<li data-orbit-slide="headline-2"><img /><div>'.$Slide2.'</div></li>',
'<li data-orbit-slide="headline-3"><img /><div>'.$Slide3.'</div></li>',
);
shuffle($links);
foreach ($links as $link) { echo $link; }
?>
</ul>
I could have up to 10 or even 20 of these slides. The information the variables are linking to would be from a separate .php page that I "included." The information on that page is:
<?php
$Slide1 = "<h5>Slide 1</h5><h6>This is the content for slide 1!</h6>";
$Slide2 = "<h5>Slide 2</h5><h6>This is the content for slide 2!</h6>";
$Slide3 = "<h5>Slide 3</h5><h6>This is the content for slide 3!</h6>";
?>
If I scrap the variable idea and insert the html directly into the list item it works perfectly. If I try to put the variables in there, the slide will just be blank. I'm stuck on where to go from here, I'm great with html and css, but not so good with php, so any help is appreciated! I'm also open to any formatting tips and best practices, the cleaner the better.
Thanks in advance!
MORE INFO: There's a few complications behind as to why I'm looking to do this. The orbit image slider doesn't support a random order, and I found it much easier to just use php to randomize the order of the list items. The reason I want to use variables in these list items is because I'm using a cms (CouchCMS) to make that content editable - a simple solution would be to insert editable tags around that content, but that would only make one page editable, and this content is going to be 'included' in the header of every page. So I'm trying to find a way to put those variables on a separate page (I know 'including' it doesn't do that - maybe I can link it to the page like a css or js file?) to make that editable. If anyone has any ideas for this I'm open!
With string concatenation, your also need to include the variables file before assigning them variables to the array. You also dont need to wrap PHP variables in quotes when echoing.
<?php include('includes/variables.php'); ?>
<ul data-options="[orbit options go here]" data-orbit>
<?php
$links = array(
'<li data-orbit-slide="headline-1"><img /><div>'.$Slide1.'</div></li>',
'<li data-orbit-slide="headline-2"><img /><div>'.$Slide2.'</div></li>',
'<li data-orbit-slide="headline-3"><img /><div>'.$Slide3.'</div></li>',
);
shuffle($links);
foreach ($links as $link) { echo $link; } //<<< notice no quotes
?>
</ul>
Edit:
Can I make a suggestion to your code, by assigning to a slides array directly be it in an external file or not, you will be able to eventually dynamically or easily add new slides to the slider and not need to hard code into a second sub array before the loop. So something like. Also by changing to alternative syntax your keep a nice HTML structure.
<?php
$slide[] = "<h5>Slide 1</h5><h6>This is the content for slide 1!</h6>";
$slide[] = "<h5>Slide 2</h5><h6>This is the content for slide 2!</h6>";
$slide[] = "<h5>Slide 3</h5><h6>This is the content for slide 3!</h6>";
shuffle($slide);
?>
<ul data-options="animation:fade; slide_number:false; pause_on_hover:false; timer_speed:5500; navigation_arrows:false; next_on_click:true; timer:true; bullets:false;" data-orbit>
<?php foreach ($slide as $key=>$value):?>
<li data-orbit-slide="headline-<?php echo $key?>"><img /><div><?php echo $value; ?></div></li>
<?php endforeach;?>
</ul>
Currently my site title looks like:
<title>My Site Title</title>
The above code is added on 'header.php' file, so every pages has the same page title.
I need to set different titles for different pages.
for example,
<title>
if 'contact.php' then title= 'Contact Us'
else if 'faq.php' then title= 'FAQ'
else if 'add.php' then title= 'Add'
else title= 'My Site Title'
</title>
somebody please help me!!
I guess contact.php include 'header.php';. Then something like this would work:
contact.php:
<?php
$title = 'Contact Us';
include 'header.php';
// your code
?>
header.php:
<?php
echo '<title>'.$title.'</title>';
Tip: have a look at template engines. I like smarty for example. Maybe someone will comment on this with some other examples ;)
Make a variable in your script called $page and use that variable in the template file.
Business logic for page Home, for example:
<?php
.
.
.
$page = 'Home';
render($page);
View logic page for Home:
.
.
.
<title>
<?php echo $page; ?>
</title>
.
.
.
This is just a concept, it is not a fully functional code.
Split your header in to 2 seperate php files, one before the title, and one after the title (this will work with other page specific data, see note at end of answer)
then the top of your pages should look like:
<?php include_once("inc/begin-head.inc");?>
<title>My Title</title>
<meta name="description" content="description"></meta>
<?php include_once("inc/end-head.inc");?>
There are some other solutions, such as make header a class and define variations to it, and then call a function to output the head completly
Please note, there are a LOT of other paged specific tags. Title, Meta Description, Canonical url link, meta keywords, open graph data .....
You can try like this and use basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) and now lookup for the $title[key]
$title = array();
$title['home.php'] = 'My home page';
$title['Hello.php'] = 'My title';
I'd advice you to use an array with titles instead of a series of ifs (respectively a switch)
<?php
$file = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
$titles = array(
'contact.php' => 'Contact Us',
'faq.php' => 'FAQ',
'add.php' => 'Add',
);
if(array_key_exists($file, $titles){
echo '<title>'.$titles[$file].'</title>';
}else{
echo '<title>Ny Site Title</title>';
}
?>
To add title dynamically , first set the following code in header.php file :
<title>
<?php
if(isset($title) && !empty($title)) {
echo $title;
} else {
echo "Default title tag";
}
?>
</title>
and set title in each page before including header as :
$title = "Your Title";
include 'header.php';
How I did this for anyone curious in the future...
I have a "pagetitles.php" page that contains this code:
$page_files=array(
"admin"=>"Admin Panel",
"profile"=>"Your Profile",
"billing"=>"Billing / Subscriptions",
"pricing"=>"Our Pricing",
"settings"=>"Your Settings",
"bugs"=>"Bug/Feature Tracker",
"search"=>"Search Results",
"clients"=>"My Clients");
if(isset($_GET['rq'])){
if(in_array($_GET['rq'],array_keys($page_files))) {
$pagetitle = $page_files[$_GET['rq']];
}
}
Then I include that file at the very top of my index.php page, and echo $pagetitle where I want the title to be. BUT this also requires another file to handle serving the specific pages, using a ?rq request
In my "page_dir.php" file, I have the following that handles ?rq= pages (ex: www.example.com?rq=home will load the home page, with the above page title that's inside of "home" array)
Here's the page_dir.php file:
$page_files=array(
"noaccess"=>"pages/noaccess.php",
"home"=>"pages/dashboard/home.php",
"lists"=>"pages/dashboard/lists.php"
);
if(isset($_GET['rq'])){
if(in_array($_GET['rq'],array_keys($page_files))) {
include $page_files[$_GET['rq']];
}else{
include $page_files['home'];
}}else{
include $page_files['home'];
}
This page_dir.php file, I put on the index page where I want main content to show up at... I then have each individual page with just the content (like home.php file is just home.php content without the navbar and footer)
On my index.php file, where I want the page title, I have this code:
if(isset($code_nav_title)){
echo $code_nav_title;
}elseif(isset($pagetitle)){
echo $pagetitle;
}else{
echo "Default Page Title Here";
}
the $code_nav_title lets me set the page title from form submissions if I want it to say "success" or "failed" :) the "default page title here" lets you set something to automatically show up if everything fails to show (like if you forgot to set the page title)
Hopefully this makes sense! It's saved me sooo many headaches and makes it easy for expansion/changes!
I'm trying to build a personal website, (fairly new to HTML and PHP) and am having trouble building a dynamic menu bar. By dynamic, I mean that I want the page that the use is on be highlighted.
Right now I have a horizontal menu on my page (Home, Contact, etc...), and have the CSS set up so that when one of the links has the attribute class="active", then the item remains highlighted (so the user knows which page he or she is on).
For example, in a static HTML page I would copy and paste the following code to each other static page and just change where the class="active" attribute is to align with the proper page:
Home
Page Two
Contact
I obviously want to use PHP to be able to minimize the amount of duplicated code I have scattered around.
So far, I have followed the first answer on this page It has worked great. I am able to click on a menu item and the content comes up in the body of the page. However:
I can't get it to dynamically highlight the menu since the menu options (the <a href /> lines) are not being dynamically created through PHP.
When I go to the page directly through index.php, I get an error:
Notice: Undefined index: 'page' in C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 43
Obviously, when I go the page directly, the ?page=home variable is not set in the line:
Home
So, the 'page' variable in GET has not been set. I've gotten around that with an if statement that checks if it is not set and sends the home page html. However, I don't think this is the best way to do it, and when I try to tackle part b), I'm thinking I need to change this completely. My entire PHP script is like this:
<?php
$current_page = 'home';
$pages = array('home', 'pagetwo', 'contact');
function setActiveHeader() {
global $current_page;
global $pages;
$arr_length = count($pages);
for($x=0;$x<$arr_length;$x++) {
if($pages[$x] == $current_page) {
echo "$pages[$x]";
} else {
echo "$pages[$x]";
}
}
}
function putPage($page) {
// put a list of allowed pages here
global $pages;
$page = trim($page);
$page = (in_array($page, $pages)) ? $page : 'home';
// set current page global variable
$GLOBALS['current_page'] = $page;
// output contents of page selected
echo #file_get_contents('.\html\\' . $page . '.html');
}
?>
I just try to call setActiveHeader() from the HTML, but that doesn't work right. The menu is output correctly, but the the correct item doesn't get highlighted, it just stays stuck on the home option highlighted. Not sure why it is not being updated. Is there a better way to go about doing this?
Your code only goes up to 37 lines, and we can't much without the line that the error is referencing, but I'll try my best.
Basically, what Undefined Index means, is that you're trying to access an element in an array that isn't set. I'm guessing that you're trying to access $pages['page'].
There are two ways to fix this. Add page to the $pages array on the fourth line:
pages = array('home', 'pagetwo', 'contact', 'page');
Or wrap the 43rd line with an if statement:
<?php
$pages = array('home', 'about');
if (isset($pages['page'])) {
echo $pages['page'];
}
?>
However, a far easier method would be to use CSS:
home.php
<html>
<head>
<title>Foo</title>
</head>
<body id="home">
<ul class="menu">
<li id="link-home"><a>Home</a></li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
style.css
body#home {
// active link styling here
}
I'm creating my own wordpress theme which is a bit different because it will not have single pages (or atleast, no single page will be reachable). The whole website contains just the homepage (with the loop) and previous posts pages.
I want to link to individual posts inside the loop like site.com#post-124 or site.com/paged=5#post-214.
I already created a function that does this:
function getPermalink($id,$postsPerPage) {
$postNumber = Get_Post_Number($id);
//a function that get's the post number based on
//the chronical order of published posts.
$page = floor(($postNumber - 1) / $postsPerPage);
$url = get_option('home');
if($page > 0) {
$url .= '/?paged=' . ($page + (1 - floor($page / 5)));
}
$url .= '#post-' . $id;
return $url;
}
You can see it live here: http://mijnrealiteit.nl (the previous posts pages are replaced by an infite scroll plugin).
This works, however it breaks when I start adding posts because all the posts before will get shifted back to pages further away (this makes the link invalid).
The way I see it there are two possible solutions:
Change the permalinkstructure to display paging backwards (so x.com/paged=231 becomes the first 'previous' page. However this is not userfriendly.
Make links with just the ID and let wordpress handle custom redirection to the page at that current point in time.
Are there better alternatives? I'm sure this is already solved somewhere, I just couldn't find it.
I got pushed in the right direction by a friend, I build it quite easily using option 2:
The getPermalink function is now much simpler:
function getPermalink($id) {
return get_option('home') . '/?f=' . $id;
}
I didn't make any custom redirection, I just checked at the homepage for a an 'f' being passed in the GET request:
$perma = $_GET['f'];
if(isset($perma) && !is_paged()) {
$customposts = get_posts('p=' . $perma );
foreach( $customposts as $post ) :
setup_postdata($post); ?>
//load the post
<?php endforeach;
}?>
If that is true the post will be fetched using the get_posts function by Wordpress. I also check the (normal) loop for the post that already has been served:
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post();
if(get_the_ID() != $perma) { ?>
//load the post
<?php } endwhile; ?>
