Dynamic Content....why isn't it working? - php

Okay I want to apologize in advance because I'm having trouble articulating what the root cause of the problem is with this site that I'm attempting to build. So if I'm way off in outer space...=/
Anyways, the first issue I'm having is that when I attempted to fix an issue with "include" function in php I'm getting this error (below) the reason why I was tampering with it at all was because my navs aren't working. I keep getting a 404 whenever I attempt to leave the index.php page.
Warning: include(/home/content/22/10350022/html/../Setup.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/22/10350022/html/index.php on line 6
Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/content/22/10350022/html/../Setup.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5_3/lib/php') in /home/content/22/10350022/html/index.php on line 6
Here is the code from index.php, setup, and navs:
Index.php ---below
> > <?php
// Setup Document:
//include (1) - forces the site to load the file one time but we're not going to include set up file more than once
define('APP_PATH', dirname(__FILE__) . "/../");
include(APP_PATH . "Setup.php");
if (isset($_GET['page']) && $_GET['page'] ==! ''){
$pg =$_GET['page'];
} else {
$pg = 'Home';
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Css/styles.css">
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color: #039;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class ="header">
<?php include('Template/header.php');?>
</div>
<div class ="main_Nav">
<?php include('Template/main_Nav.php');?>
</div>
<div class ="main_Content">
<?php include('Content/'.$pg.'.php');?>
<?php #$Home = "SELECT body FROM Pages WHERE Id=1";
#$d = '$Home, $conn';
#if ($d == false) {
#echo "FAILURE".mysql_error($conn);
#}
?>
<div class ="main_Footer">
<?php include('Template/footer.php');?>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Some stuff is commented out on purpose so I could work on this issue.
Navs below --
<?php
## Main Navigation Document
include('/Config/setup.php');
?>
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Free Stuff</li>
<li>Blog</li>
<li>About Us</li>
</ul>
Finally - setup -- some info is blacked out obviously and some stuff is commented out on purpose
<?php
## Setup Document
//Host - location of database on server etc
//username
//pswd
//database name
//connection variables
$host = "";
$user = "test";
$pwd = "";
$db = "test";
//connection info
$conn = mysqli_connect ($host, $user, $pwd, $db);
if ($conn ==false) {
echo "connection has failed";
}
//fetching the title of pages
#$sql = "SELECT title FROM pages WHERE Id=2";
//da warnings
#$r = '$sql,$conn';
# echo $r;
# echo "sucess!";
// return
#if ($r == false) {
# echo "FAILURE".mysql_error($conn);
#}
?>
Originally I was just using include('/Config/setup.php'); which works. But whenever I attempt to navigate to content featured in my navs bar...i get a 404 error. Now this should only change the content box -- the rest of the page should remain static. <?php include('Content/'.$pg.'.php');?> Which is what I think I'm doing here. Or at least I hope it is lol. $pg is the string 4(Home) and unless page is otherwise defined it will be defaulted to home. At least that is what I THINK I wrote above.
my file structure just really fast is this:
...root folder on FTP
-content
-config
-images
-Css
-templates
-Stats
-Roodyinfo
Now this path it keeps asking for...does that have to do with my hosting service? Cause it seems like its saying I have to define an ABSOLUTE path???
All help is welcome and appreciated. Thanks!

Just put all the files you need in the same directory and use require('filename'); with no paths.

Load files in subdirectories in PHP

I have a basic semi-static website written in PHP. In the root folder I have a file called posts.php and also a folder called posts, in which there are post1.php, post2.php, and so forth and so on.
the posts.php file is in the root folder. When opened it creates a list from the files inside the posts folder and links to them.
In essence, what I want to do is to open php pages that I create statically and store in the posts/ folder in the browser.
The problem is that when I try to open these posts I am unable to. I can hard-link to them, and this "works", but if I do so my base templating will not work.
When I click links I go from one page to the next, and the URL shows ?p=index or ?p=posts. post1.php should be in something like ?p=posts/post1, but it doesn't work.
There may be a problem in naming, since there is a folder and a php file with the same name (posts), but I'm not sure if that's it, nor how to work around it.
edit: Below are parts of the code that I believe pertain to this problem:
my index.php
<?php
require_once('functions.php');
require_once('header.php');
load_page();
// require_once('init.php');
require_once('footer.php');
?>
My header.php
<html lang="en">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
<meta charset="utf8">
<title>Paulo RSS Alves</title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<!-- these are working without any issue -->
<h1><a href='?p=index'>Paulo RSS Alves</a></h1>
<div class="bar">
<p>Posts</p>
</div>
posts.php:
<?php
$dir = scandir('./post');
foreach ($dir as $file)
{
$path_parts = pathinfo($file);
if ($path_parts['extension'] == 'php' and ctype_alpha($file[0])){
// the purpose of this code is to only consider files with
// the .php extension and to remove that extension from the url.
$file_f = str_replace('.'.$path_parts['extension'], "", $file);
echo '<li><a href='.'post/'.$file_f.'>'.$file_f.'</li>';
}
}
?>
and functions.php:
<?php
function load_page() {
(isset($_GET['p'])) ? $page = $_GET['p'] : $page = 'index';
if (file_exists($page) && $page != 'index'){
require_once($page);
} else{
require_once('init.php');
}
}
?>
init.php is merely a welcome screen.
and a schema of my filetree:
index.php
init.php
header.php
footer.php
functions.php
posts.php
posts/
post1.php
post2.php
You are not requiring from the posts folder
<?php
function load_page() {
$dir = './posts/';
(isset($_GET['p'])) ? $page = $_GET['p'] : $page = 'index';
if (file_exists($page) && $page != 'index'){
require_once($dir . $page);
// add directory ^^^^
} else{
require_once('init.php');
}
}
?>

PHP sessions working differently xampp and web

When I try to open js.php, it gives an error in xampp while in 000webhost it doesn't . I don't understand why.
so here is the code.
js.php
<?php
header('Content: text/javascript');
if($_SESSION['myjskey'] != hash('md5','examplekey')){
die('No Auth');
}
$_SESSION['JSSESSID'] = 'change';//so that no one can access directly
?>
//secret js
alert('javascript done.');
//and some more js
index.php
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['myjskey'] = hash('md5','examplekey');
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP</title>
</head>
<body>
this is a test.
<script type="text/javascript"><?php include('js.php'); ?></script>
</body>
</html>
Website js.php
Xampp Js.php
Edit 1: I cannot do session_start(); in js.php as it will give an error index.php
(session already started.) Removing the header didn't work.
<?php
//js
if($_SESSION['myjskey'] != hash('md5','examplekey')){
die('No Auth');
}
$_SESSION['JSSESSID'] = 'change';//so that no one can access directly
?>
//secret js
alert('javascript done.');
//and some more js
make this change no need to use
header('Content: text/javascript');

Import stylesheet with php if a certain page is requested

I would like to import a css stylesheet in a page depending on a php condition (or other), this condition is based upon the domain URL.
For example, if the page loaded is "mydomain.com/about-us" import a "css/about-us.css" file.
I have tried with this code, but it does not work.
<?php
$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if (strstr($url, "mydomain.com/about-us/")) {
include '/css/about-us.css';
}
?>
How can I import, or use a <style> tag conditionally?
solution correct:
the correct solution is use only the page name, so if you page is mydomain.com/about-us/
use " /about-us/" only.
now have other question, with the code posted you can import css for specific page , but I noticed that if the domain is mydomain.com/about-us/team.html example in the page team.html load also the css of "about-us" how load the css for about-us only in the page mydomain/about-us/ ??
How you can read here, strstr will return a string or FALSE. You can change it like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<?php
if (strstr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "mydomain.com/about-us/")!=false) {
echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/about-us.css">';
} ?>
</head>
...
</body>
</html>
Or:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
<?php
if (strstr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "mydomain.com/about-us/")!=false) {
echo file_get_contents('/css/about-us.css');
} ?>
</style>
</head>
...
</body>
</html>
In the first example your CSS is included through the <link> tag, in the second, the PHP-script loads your CSS file into the script-tags. You can not use include because it will load another php file and execute where it was included. You should use my first example, because it is more server-friendly because the CSS file doesn't need to be read. Your page will be faster.
You can add a stylesheet to the page with PHP by including this in the <head> of your html document:
<?php
echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' . $file . '">';
?>
Where $file is the name of the css file. You're going to have to provide some more information as to what you're trying to do for a better answer.
Update
The variable $_SERVER[REQUEST_URI] only gives the requested page, not the whole domain. From the PHP manual,
'REQUEST_URI'
The URI which was given in order to access this page; for instance, '/index.html'.
So the code should look as follows:
<?php
$requested_page = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if ($requested_page === "/about-us" || $requested_page === "/about-us/") {
echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/about-us.css">';
}
?>
This will test if the requested page is "/about-us" (the client is requesting the "about-us" page) and if it does, the link to the stylesheet will be echoed.
use this:
<?php
$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if (strstr($url, "mydomain.com/about-us/"))
{
// output an HTML css link in the page
echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/about-us.css" />';
}
else
{
// output an HTML css link in the page
echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/another.css" />';
}
?>
you can also do this to import the css contents directly, but probably some media/images links can break:
<?php
$url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
if (strstr($url, "mydomain.com/about-us/"))
{
// output css directly in the page
echo '<style type="text/css">' .file_get_contents('./css/about-us.css').'</style>';
}
else
{
// output css directly in the page
echo '<style type="text/css">' .file_get_contents('./css/another.css').'</style>';
}
?>

Changing title based on included file in PHP

I have to make some changes on my old website where I'm not using any templating system. I'm loading the content for some pages from a database based on ?page parameter. So I have something like this:
<title>Page title</title>
...
...
...
$page_id = $_GET['page'];
include 'page.php'; //escaping is done in this file
Inside the page.php file I'm actually loading the information about the page. Based on this information I have to change the title of the main page.
I know that this design is not good at all and I wouldn't do this way these days, but to change everything on this website would be too complicated.
Thank you for your ideas.
Try to add php code before title
<html>
<?php
$page_id=$_GET["page"];
include('page.php');
echo "<title>".$page_title."</title>";
?>
<body></body></html>
Inside page.php:
echo '<script>
document.title = "This is the new page title.";
</script>';

Dynamic Title Tag in PHP

I am trying to dynamically populate the title tag on a website. I have the following code in my index.php page
<?php $title = 'myTitle'; include("header.php"); ?>
And the following on my header page
<title><?php if (isset($title)) {echo $title;}
else {echo "My Website";} ?></title>
But no matter what I do, I cannot get this code to work. Does anyone have any suggestions?
thanks
This works (tested it - create a new folder, put your first line of code in a file called index.php and the second one in header.php, run it, check the title bar).
You should double check if those two files are in the same folder, and that you're including the right header.php from the right index.php. And ensure that $title is not being set back to null somewhere in your code.
Learn more about Variable Scope here.
Edit: Examples of visible changes would be:
TEST1<?php $title = 'myTitle'; include("header.php"); ?>
<title>TEST2<?php if ...
Are you including the header file before or after you set the title variable? If you're including it before, then of course it won't be set.
if you're doing something like this in your index.php:
<?php
include('header.php');
$title = "blah blah blah";
?>
then it won't work - you include the header file and output the title text before the $title variable is ever set.
try to declare the variable before using it
$title = '123';
require 'includes/header.php';
Hi Try this old school method ..
In your Header file (for e.g. header.php)
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
echo '<!DOCTYPE html>
<!--[if IE 7 ]><html class="ie7" lang="en"><![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8 ]><html class="ie8" lang="en"><![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 9 ]><html class="ie9" lang="en"><![endif]-->
<!--[if (gte IE 10)|!(IE)]><!-->
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en-US">
<!--<![endif]-->
<head>';
?>
<?php
if($GLOBALS['title']) {
$title = $GLOBALS['title'];
} else {
$GLOBALS['title'] = "Welcome to My Website";
}
if($GLOBALS['desc']) {
$desc = $GLOBALS['desc'];
} else {
$desc = "This is a default description of my website";
}
if($GLOBALS['keywords']) {
$keywords = $GLOBALS['keywords'];
} else {
$keywords = "my, site, key, words";
}
echo "\r\n";
echo "<title> ". $title ." | MyWebsite.com </title>";
echo "\r\n";
echo "<meta name=\"description\" content='". $GLOBALS['title']."'>";
echo "\r\n";
echo "<meta name=\"keywords\" content='".$GLOBALS['title']."'>";
echo "\r\n";
?>
In you PHP Page file do like this (for example about.php)
<?php
$GLOBALS['title'] = 'About MyWebsite -This is a Full SEO Title';
$GLOBALS['desc'] = 'This is a description';
$GLOBALS['keywords'] ='keyword, keywords, keys';
include("header.php");
?>
I assume your header is stored in a different file (could be outside the root directory) then all the above solutions will not work for you because $title is set before it is defined.
Here is my solution:
in your header.php file you need to set the $title to be global by: global $title; then echo it in your title so:
<?php global $title; ?>
<title><?php echo isset($title) ? $title : "{YOUR SITE NAME}"; ?></title>
Then in every page now you can define your title after you have included your header file so for example in your index.php file:
include_once("header.php");
$title = "Your title for better SEO"
This is tested and it is working.
We can also use functions and its a good way to work on real time web sites.
Do simple:
create an index.php file and paste these lines:
<?php include("title.php");?>
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title><?php index_Title(); ?></title>
<head>
</html>
-- Then
Create a title.php file and paste these lines:
<?php
function index_Title(){
$title = '.:: itsmeShubham ::.';
if (isset($title)){
echo $title;
}else{
echo "My Website";
};
}
?>
It will work perfectly as you want and we can also update any title by touching only one title.php file.
<?php
echo basename(pathinfo($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])['basename'],".php");
?>
This works. Since I'm using PHP I don't check for other extensions; use pathinfo['extension'] in case that's required.
You can achieve that by using define(); function.
In your header.php file add following line :
<title><?php echo TITLE; ?></title>
And on that page where you want to set dynamic title, Add following lines:
EX : my page name is user-profile.php where I want to set dynamic title
so I will add those lines that page.
<?php
define('TITLE','User Profile'); //variable which is used in header.php
include('header.php');
include('dbConnection.php');
?>
So my user-profile/.php file will be having title: User Profile
As like this you can add title on any page on your site
Example Template.php
<?php
if (!isset($rel)) {$rel = './';}
if (!isset($header)) {
$header = true;
?><html>
<head>
<title><?php echo $pageTitle; ?></title>
</head>
<body>
<?php } else { ?>
</body>
</html><?php } ?>
Pages Your Content
<?php
$rel = './'; // location of page relative to template.php
$pageTitle = 'This is my page title!';
include $rel . 'template.php';
?>
Page content here
<?php include $rel . 'template.php'; ?>
I'm using your code in my project and it works properly
My code in header:
<title>
<?php
if (isset($title)) {echo $title;}
else {echo "عنوانی پیدا نشد!";}
?>
</title>
and my code in index.php:
<?php
$title = "سرنا صفحه اصلی";
include("./include/header-menu.php");
?>
