[Idiot Mistake] Need Help

Name: Anonymous 2010-06-02 2:02

Ok, So I am using a $_GET function as a main navigation tool. Yes, I am using PHP, I did not come here to get ridiculed, I came here for assistance.

So I have the script something like:

<?php
$page = $_GET['p'];

if ($page == ""){
require 'index.htm';
};

if ($page == "about"){
require 'aboutme.htm';
};

if ($page == "links"){
require 'links.htm';
};
?>

And I have seen this work before, However I am running this off a different server on my own IP address instead of on a host. Basically the error I keep getting is that "p" is not defined. So, simply "page.php" will not load, however "page.php?p" will load. I have never had this happen before. Usually if the $_GET is set to '', then running page.php by itself will just cause the index page to show up instead.

I really don't understand what I did wrong. Please help /prog/.

if (isset($_GET['p']))

else
    $page = 'index';

// your shit (which you should make a switch instead)

That's a contradiction.

If this is too hard for you, you have no business being a programmer.

Perhaps it's because you use a screen real estate-saving font.

Alternatively, if you like this syntactic sugar such as:
$page = (isset($_GET['p')) ? $_GET['p'] : 'index';

As for the ifs, you could try something like this instead:
switch ($page)
{
    case 'index':
    case 'about':
    case 'links':
        $page .= '.html';
        break;
    default:
        $page = '404.html';
        break;
}
require($page);
etc...

Oh wow. I guess I shouldn't be surprised the PHP designers didn't understand the reasoning behind switch and ended up fucking it up.

I'd have been surprised if it had been any other way.

How about you make the actual pages 'index.php', 'aboutme.php', 'links.php'?

I doubt you're going to need a more complicated set-up for a basic, personal 'site' (aka a few pages).

$pages = array('about','links');
$require = (in_array($_GET['p'], $pages)) ? $_GET['p'].'html' : 'indicks.html';

Just use static pages, please.  Ones which will result in useful headers (modified dates, sizes, etc) being returned to clients; not shitty dynamically-generated pages that serve no purpose other than PHP bragging rights.  And ones which don't use the shitty ?p=whatever added on to the end of the URL.

Static pages are not as flexible. What if you need to change the header or footer? You'd have to do a copy/paste

Name: Anonymous 2010-06-02 18:47

include('../shared/header.php');

// ...

include('../shared/footer.php');

Name: Anonymous 2010-06-02 19:12

This is not static. PHP has to fetch header.php and footer.php every time the page is requested. It still has all the problems that >>18 pointed out.

Use a program to generate the static pages.  Save on bandwidth.

Then the pages aren't static anymore.

How could dynamically including a common template to a page that is otherwise "static" (in the sense that it is its own file within the server folder structure and not accessed through a RESTful controller) possibly harm the HTTP headers?

Name: Anonymous 2010-06-02 23:38

>>24
the correct timestamp and file sizes probably aren't being sent.

Name: Anonymous 2010-06-02 23:57

Not to mention that dynamically generating output using CPU-hungry PHP code wastes lots of energy and is bad for the environment.

Name: Anonymous 2010-06-03 0:06

The most effective way to handle this would be store a cached version of each PHP page in a database entry, keyed by p= value. Then each page would first check to see if a cache entry for itself exists, and if so, serve that and exit rather than generating the page again. The cache entries would have to be refreshed whenever you made a change to the page, but considering that reads are much more frequent than updates, that would not be a big hardship.

Name: Anonymous 2010-06-03 7:41

Just use <frame>s

Name: Anonymous 2010-06-03 9:17

>>27
You want to keep entire copies of pages in a database? Why not just p= keys and "source" (raw content) and file (static, generated with >>20) locations? If a source is unmodified, just print a Location: /generated-file.php header, otherwise regenerate it beforehand.

Make separate files for index.php, links.php, and aboutme.php.

Write them each independently until you find that there are resources you can share. Put that in a file called Template.php, preferably in a folder out of reach from browser clients, but it doesn't really matter.

Inside Template.php, you might have something like this:

<?php

class Template
{
    static function header($title, $stylesheet)
    {
?>

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>My website : <?php echo $title; ?></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="./../css/main.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="./../css/<?php echo $stylesheet; ?>">
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<h1><?php echo $title; ?></h1>

<?php
    }

    static function footer()
    {
?>

</div>
</body>
</html>

<?php
    }
}


/* EOF */


Then require('./../wherever/Template.php'); at the top of your index.php, aboutme.php, etc. -- anywhere this code is shared:


<?php

require('./../wherever/Template.php');

Template::header('About me', 'aboutme.css');

?>

<div id="hi">Here is my glorious About Me content</div>

<?php

Template::footer();

/* EOF */


And there you have it: a simple, fast, and organized system using php the way it was meant to be used, while continuing to distributing http requests.

We should think about this PHP templating system some more, I think /prog/ could have a marketable product on its hands.

THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO DO THIS IS TO USE STATIC FILES, NO INCLUDES.

USE SHELL SCRIPTS TO GENERATE THEM IF YOU WANT TO USE SEPARATE HEADERS AND FOOTERS
OR YOU COULD EVEN USE PHP FROM SHELL SCRIPTS IF YOU LIKE.

Doesn't make sense. The generation process is likely to be disk-bound: the bottleneck will be the speed at which you can fetch files off disk, concatenate them and write them to the output directory. Choosing Assembly over C will not give you any significant gains there.

/data/page.php:

<?php

    include($_GET['page'].'.html');
?>

/index.php:

<?php
    if ($_GET[act] != "") {
        include('data/'.$_GET['act'].'.php');
    }
    else {
        $_GET[page] = 'home';
        include('data/page.php');
