Php question
Ok... I currently have a php function:
if($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] == 'thetalent' ||
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] == 'thetalent:bcavalier' ||
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] == 'thetalent:bquire' ||
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] == 'thetalent:acigainero' ||
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] == 'thetalent:dduffield' ||
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] == 'thetalent:sfahrenheit' ||
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] == 'thetalent:lanna' ||
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] == 'thetalent:mfernandez' ||
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] == 'thetalent:aheers' ||
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] == 'thetalent:jhenry' ||
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] == 'thetalent:ajacob' ||
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] == 'thetalent:lmbuthia' ||
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] == 'thetalent:kmulligan' ||
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] == 'thetalent:kserfass' ||
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] == 'thetalent:obarua')
{ echo 'TabOn'; }
else { echo 'TabOff'; }?>' href='?thetalent'
Is there a way I can just have it check for the to see if it contains "thetalent" in it and echo tabon rather than have to declare each and every one? 0

if(substr($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], 0, 9) == 'thetalent') echo 'TabOn'; else echo 'TabOff';You can do it with regular expressions too, but regular expressions are evil.
regular expressions are evil?

me
if (preg_match("/^thetalent/",$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) { echo('TabOn'); } else { echo('TabOff'); }but for something like this it's better to use strpos() unless you really need regular expressions. see http://php.net/strpos for reference.
I'm currently using this php code:
<?php $query = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; $query = explode(':',$query); if(empty($query[0]) && empty($query[1])) { require_once 'home.php'; } elseif(empty($query[1])) { require_once $query[0].'.php'; } else { require_once $query[0].'/'.$query[1].'.php'; } ?>to call php files into a template file I've designed.Using this code I am able to have address.com/?page which will call, for example, if the page was ?opportunities it would call opportunities into that page.
If I call a page from another directory I'd just put ?DirectoryName:NameOfFile
I'd like to be able to display regular URLS. Such as website.com/PageName.php or website.com/DirectoryName/PageName.php or even .html. Is this clear? If it is, does anyone know how to go about this?
if you don't care about having a .php in there, but you don't want the question mark, you could use $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']
that way if your url was http://server.com/file.php/this/is/a/test
then from inside file.php, $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] would be "/this/is/a/test" and you could do with that whatever you wanted.
but what's so bad about using $_GET?
if your url was http://server.com/file.php?t=x
then $_GET['t'] would be "x" and you wouldn't have to mess with explode and all that other crap.
word of advice: never just take the query string and use it to include a file (like you do in your code up there (
require_once $query[0].'.php';) without doing some checking and sanitizing first. because what if i entered this url: http://your.server.com/file.php?sensitiveserverinformationsee what i'm saying? have an array of valid files and check against that, or something. don't let people enter whatever they want, and show it to them.
you should be using a database to hold information about these people, instead of a million static pages, one for each person.
If you're not, then I'll figure something out eventually but it probably won't be the cleanest or most secure, haha.
I've kind of had to learn all this stuff in the process of building this website, it's been an experience, I tell ya.
