Hi. I've got PHP Problem. I'm designing a new site that requires categories. (ie Canvas, acrylic, oil, etc). I'm using PHP include to throw all the PHP & HTML together it was looking really good until I came across this problem. I know it would probably have to do with 'isset' and things, but like me and languages (whether it be computer or country), I can understand fragments but not the whole picture. I think what I am looking for is something like: if (isset (canvas)) {<<DATABASE CONNECTION STUFF>> WHERE pictype = canvas"; } if (isset (acryllic)) {<<DATABASE CONNECTION STUFF>> WHERE pictype = acryllic"; } etc. Is that correct, can someone point me in the right direction!??! Is this the end of Wenslock's adventures??!??! TUNE IN NEXT TIME FOLKS TO FIND OUT!
I think you'll probably need to load only one category at a time. So you can use the SWITCH construct or IF..ELSE IF..ELSE construct. Example (Switch): PHP: switch($category) { case 'canvas': include('canvas.inc.php'); break; case 'acrylic': include('acrylic.inc.php'); break; }
