I was looking through php.net's help guide and a few other documents
that I cam across on the web but I am still having trouble finding the
information I am looking for. So I came here...
Here is my question:
I was wondering if there was a way to load information into a page
without using SQL or anything fancy. Say I had a page setup with the
body of the page being pulled in with a 'require' command and a menu
bar on the left. (This page would be my index.php). I was wondering if
there was a way to make the links on the menubar pull different
information into the page where the require command is. Perhaps making
different links into variables and then calling those variables with
the menu links.
I really don't know how to explain this but I think it is rather
simple. If anyone knows how to go about this and would like to take
the time to respond to this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank
you!
Regards,
Eric Rines

Perhaps something like:
index.php:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<table border=1 width=80%>
<tr>
<td width=200>
<ul>
<li><a href="index.php ?t=main">Main</a></li>
<li><a href="index.php ?t=news">News</a></li>
</ul>
</td>
<td>
<?php
$t=$_GET['t'];
switch($t) {
case ("main") :
require "main.php";
break;
case ("news") :
require "news.php";
break;
default:
require "home.php";
break;
}
?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

I'm pretty new to this. Is $_GET the same as $HTTP_POST_VARS ? If it is,
why are there 2 ways of doing it?

Hi Andy, http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php
Well, $_GET uses GET variables (visible on the url), $HTTP_POST_VARS
uses POSTed variables (within a METHOD=POST form), so I think your
question is whether $_GET and $HTTP_GET_VARS are the same.
$HTTP_GET_VARS is used prior to PHP 4.1.0 and was not superglobal. Since
then it is reccomended to use $_GET and $_POST etc which are superglobals.
Apparantly... :-)

I'm trying to pass a var called "u" in an url aka www.mysite.com/myscript.php?text=string&u=BOOL. I need it to be read
as a bool so that a user could use 1,true,TRUE or 0,false,FALSE for
the value. how can i do this?
i have tried
if(isset($_GET['u']) && $_GET['u'] == 1)
{
$text = strtoupper($_GE T['text']);
}
else
{
$text = $_GET['text'];
}
but 0,false,FALSE works and
1 works however true,and TRUE doesn't. i am somewhat new to php and am
sure it is something stupid that i have overlooked.

true and TRUE do not work (???) because they always go to the else part
of your if().
I'd do that somewhat differently:
if (isset($_GET['u'])) {
switch (strtolower($_G ET['u'])) {
case '1':
case 'true':
case 'y':
case 'yes':
$text = 'TRUE';
break;
default:
$text = 'FALSE';
break;
}
}
