Hello everyone. I am very new to php and i am designing my very first website. I am using several tools to do this. I have a page question. i am makeing a mapping website. I am a gamer and i build maps and mods for the game call of duty 2. so i am building a site that will have tutorials and video tutorials on how to do alot of this stuff. my question is this.
I have a link on the main page called tutorials, when you click that, it opens up another page in the same window that lists several different tuts. So i got the very first one to display ok, but i am confused as to how to get the rest to display. the page that lists all the tuts in called index.php , then i created a folder next to that called tuts and inside that is another index.php that will display the first tut. how do i get another page to display the second tut without creating another folder with another index.php? can it be done something like this...http://www.mydomain.com/tuts/page2....or something.
I think of a module as a page. is that accurate?

IF your writing it in PHP then you can use an if statement and keep all the tuts in one page.

if (isset($_GET['page']) AND $_GET['page'] == '2') {
//Page 2 tut here
} elseif (isset($_GET['page']) AND $_GET['page'] == '3') {
//Page 3 tut here
} elseif (isset($_GET['page']) AND $_GET['page'] == '4') {
//Page 4 tut here
} else {
//Default tut 1
}

I tried to get that script you posted to work, but i cannot. i seem to be having better luck with this line [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

from what i was reading. your suppose to beable to call up the file that way. but i keep getting this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/wwwasp/public_html/aspx/modules/modding_tutorials/tut1/tut1.php on line 557
any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated
so i have a folder called modding_tutorials and in that is the index.php that will hold all the links. it's the menu i am trying to build. but what i want is to have a folder in there labeled tut1. and in it will be about 15 files. tut1 tut2 tut3. then i will make the links in the index. but i can't figure it out.

Here is the index.php file

<?php
#### Generated by Module Creator - By Disipal site (www.disipal.net) ####
if (!eregi("modules.php", $PHP_SELF)) {
die ("You can't access this file directly...");

}
require_once("mainfile.php");
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
get_lang($module_name);
include("header.php");
$index = 1;
$pagetitle = "- "._mod_tutorials."";
OpenTable();
echo "<center>modding Tutorials</center> <hr>";

echo"this tutorial will show you how to add a weapon to a menu. ";
echo "<A href=\"http://www.asp-gamers.com/aspx/modules/modding_tutorials/tut1/index.php?cmd=loadscreen.php\">modding 101</A> ";

Closetable();
include("footer.php");

?>

Sorry for the delay...

You dont need to make those page (tut1, tut2) in php you can leave them as they are. You can use the include() function to call them into the index.php.

You can call them by:

modules.php?name=Tutorials&tutorial=tut1

Then if your index.php of the module use the if statements to include the page:

if (isset($_GET['tutorial']) AND file_exists('modules/Tutorials/'.$_GET['tutorial'].'.html') {
include('modules/Tutorials/'.$_GET['tutorial'].'.html');
}

that's ok for the delay. thanks for takeing the time to respond. Unfortunatly i am just beginning at this and all that code you put up is to confusing to work with. i am not that literate in the programming field. I will study it and maybe in three or four months i will find a way to make it work. thanks.

Pack up what you have so far and I will see if I can make a few to show you how it would work.

here is my index

<?php
#### Generated by Module Creator - By Disipal site (www.disipal.net) ####
if (!eregi("modules.php", $PHP_SELF)) {
die ("You can't access this file directly...");

}
require_once("mainfile.php");
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
get_lang($module_name);
include("header.php");
$index = 0;
OpenTable();
echo"this tutorial will take you through the steps to make a loading bar for your custom map ";
echo "<A href=\"HTTP://www.asp-gamers.com/aspx/modules.php?name=cybers_tutorials/tut\">Getting a lodscreen for Cod 2</A>";
CloseTable();

include("footer.php");

?>

What i wanted you to do was attach your tut file that you havnt edited yet. I want to see one like it is. You shouldnt have to change them into php. Please attach 1 tut file in its original form.

ok, sorry about that. i will try to attach the attachment. i have never done that in a forum, so this should be interesting

OK here is one for you to use. You can pretty it up if you like.

Just put all your tutorials in the modules/Modding_Tutorials/tutorials/ folder.

The menu will automatically detect them and add them to it. The name that shows up in the menu is the name of the tutorial txt file. So if your tutorial text file is named adding_weapons.txt the name in the menu will be Adding Weapons.

All the tutorial files bust be in .txt format or we will have to make a few adjustments to it..
