[PHP] How to load pages through "index.php".

[RastaLulz]

Hello,

Today I will be showing you a very basic way of loading all your pages through "index.php", rather than having to make a separate file for each page with the same template, includes, etc.

<?php
 
// here you could include the header of your site
// require_once 'skin/header.php';
 
/* CONFIG */
 
$path = 'path/to/pages/'; // path to the folder where you store pages
 
$default_page = 'home'; // if no page is set, this will be included
 
$default_404_page = '404'; // if the page does not exist, this will be included
 
/* SLAVE */
 
if(empty($_GET['page'])) { // check if you have set the page in the URL
 
    $page = $default_page; //set the default page set in the config since no page was set in the URL
 
}else{
 
    // the code below checks if the page contains only letters, numbers, underscores and/or dashes
    // it also checks if the file exists
 
    $page = (preg_match('/[^a-zA-Z0-9\ _-]/', $_GET['page']) || !file_exists($path . $_GET['page'] . '.php') ? $default_404_page : $_GET['page']);
 
}
 
// includes the page correct page
 
require_once $path . $page . '.php';
 
// here you could include the footer of your site
// require_once 'skin/footer.php';

Put this in your htaaccess!

Instead of going to:

You must be registered for see links

You can do:

Here:

RewriteEngine On
 
RewriteRule ^(|/)$ index.php?page=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)(|/)$ index.php?page=$1

Didn't mean to bump, but you didn't explain what they're suppose to do with this code, so I will. Once you have this code set, you need to add a GET parameter to your URL. This mean that you need to do

Or, if you want something less harmful for the eyes, you can do what DaLightz suggested with HTACCESS.

Add the following into a new file called .htaccess if it isn't already created!
Here:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(|/)$ index.php?page=$1
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)(|/)$ index.php?page=$1

I wouldn't recommend anyone to use this nor would I use this. All this does is simply include files according to the URL. It would be much better if there was a Routing Library with this.
