Question about loading php into tables or css

pcxgamer · #1 03-Jul-2003, 18:05

Hey guys I needed to know if there is any way to use CSS or table instead of frames to load a news system on my page.

Thanks

There are quite a few ways to get this done but here's just one to get you started...

Since you didn't supply any details, I'll assume a few first:

The file you want to insert the other page into: index.php.
The other script / page: news.php.
The path to this other page: /home/pcxgamers/public_html/PCXNews/.

In index.php:

PHP Code:


<?php

// FILENAME: index.php

// Let's get the news.php output
ob_start();
require_once( '/home/pcxgamers/public_html/PCXNews/news.php' );
$my_news_page = ob_get_contents();  // we got everything off this other page at this point
ob_end_clean();

// Some html...
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>PCXGamers inserting NEWS.PHP into INDEX.PHP</title>
</head>
<body>
<table>
  <tr>
    <td>Some Menu (You can start another table here even!)</td>
    <td><?php echo $my_news_page; ?></td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

how would you do this with links like different links on the page?

JdS · #4 04-Jul-2003, 19:18

I am afraid you have to change them to the 'index.php' page.

e.g. If this 'news.php' script outputs links like this:

HTML Code:


<a href="/PCXNews/news.php?id=2345&amp;show=all">More News...</a>

you'd have to modify the script/html so that 'news.php' outputs them links like this instead:
[html]

HTML Code:


<a href="/index.php?id=2345&amp;show=all">More News...</a>

This is my index.php let me know if you see something wrong with it. I know there is something wrong but not sure what.

HTML Code:


<?php 

// FILENAME: index.php

// Let's get the news.php output
ob_start();
require_once( '/home/pcxgamers/www/news.php' );
$my_news_page = ob_get_contents(); // We got everything off this other page at this point
ob_end_clean();

?>

Actually, you should be more concerned about the html being output by 'news.php' rather than 'index.php'.

probably a giant bump, sorry if it is.

im trying to make my page, and while looking at your code, i dont understand how you would make a link load a page into the table without loading a new page with the php script to load information into a table
