Creating Page Within Page?

[MarkFoster]

How do I create a page within a page for example: www.example.com/example.php?do=news
Or something like: www.example.com/example.php?action=news

I really need this soon so any help appreciated.

Use php $_GET['do'] and $_GET['action'] to get the query string.
Use an if condition...if ($_GET['do'] == 'something') { DO THIS } else { DO THIS } etc

Of course, this would be done in php.

Could you make it in a quote what I should add?

I tried this many times without anything at all working

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'xxx')
{
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEMPLATE_XXX') . '");');
}

$_REQUEST is a very different function than $_GET.

Not sure what exactly you want to do with the code, so I won't tell you want to evaluate inside or anything...but to do something based on the query string use the code

PHP Code:

if ($_GET['do'] == 'Something')
{
   //do something
}

But if I do like this:

PHP Code:

if ($_GET['do'] == '?newsmain1')
{
[B]   //do something[/B]
} 


What will the command be to load a template and that template only, not the template that is on.com/name.php[S]?newsmain1[/S] ?

You leave the '?' out of the $_GET command.

I advise you ask someone to do this for you, as you don't know PHP. You cant use bb code in php, nor html (directly).
Although a relatively simple task, would take awhile to explain from scratch, especially when unaware of your intentions. I would advise checking out some php tutorials.

Don't put the question mark in the if statement ('newsmain1' only) Try your if statement with that correction.

All I really need is one PHP command which will let me add a page within a PHP file with my own template.
And that's about it so I'm pretty sure somebody has a code for that.

PHP Code:

if ($_GET['do'] == 'Something')
{
   include('PAGENAME.HTML');
} 


Change 'something' to what will be after do=, ie, if your page is www.mypage.com?do=run, then change it to 'something'. Change $_GET['do'] to what is before the equal sign...you could make it www.mypage.com?returnpage=first, then you would used $_GET['returnpage']. Use the include to fetch a html/php page from the same directory, or link it appropriately.

Or fetch a template instead.

I would rather fetch a template but this code wont work:

PHP Code:

if ($_GET['do'] == 'news1')
{
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('newsmain1') . '");'); 
} 


Could you give me a exact fetch template line?
