Pages In 1 File

I know its possible to put many pages inside 1 file. But how? Lets say you have a guestbook with different pages for signing and viewing. How to make so those pages are in 1 file?

Do you mean something like this?

CODE

<?php[br]if($_GET['show'] == "guestbook")[/br]{[br] echo "guestbook";[/br]}[br]elseif($_GET['show'] == "info")[/br]{[br] echo "info";[/br]}[br]else[/br]{[br] echo '<a href="?show=guestbook"> guestbook </a> ';[/br] echo '<a href="?show=info"> info </a>';[br]}[/br]?>

what you are trying to accomplish could be possible with flatfiles,
although we can't help you with the technicalities of the code,
unless we actually see your code. maybe you can upload your
bare code in your site, and have us review it for alteration/
modification to the end you desire.

or better yet, start learning more PHP and MySQL to maximize the
features of trap17 hosting.

i'm wary of using flatfiles since they
are not really that secure enough. at least that's what i think, since
they can essentially be called directly from the browser
(example: http://yoursite.com/flatfilename.txt).

heheheü
anyway, a flatfile has its uses, but i won't use it if i want to make
some/all content in it secure.

That should be more efficient.

These are all great ways to do it. For the sake of conversation, here is a variation on the theme.

In some of the enterprise projects that I work on we will use a "mode" which is simply defined by the text post ? (eg. myfile.php?mypage would be "mypage" mode).

I will often grab the $QUERY_STRING as the mode, or parse it if anything else is on the GET string.

Eg.

CODE

$mode = $QUERY_STRING;[br]switch ($mode) {[/br] case "mode1":[br] include_once("Mode1.class.php");[/br] ...[br] case "mode2":[/br] include_once("Mode2.class.php");[br] ...[/br]}

So if I went to mypage.php?mode1 it would include the Mode1 class and then you could execute some functionality out of that.

You will notice that this does not limit the code to one file, but it does limit it to one URL. I love this combination - it consolidates as many functions as you want into one URL, maintains code in manageable classes, and helps you avoid having to come up with strange new names for each page that you want to do something.
