PHP Tutorials: Dynamic Pages (Part 2/3)

[ssolomon1215]

Wow, this is the most convoluted way of going about this I think I've ever seen. The point of it is maintaining fewer files to create multiple pages. This is somewhat backward.

while i understand the elegance of using dynamic pages, is it seo friendly is the real question. I won't shoot myself in the foot just to be able to do a pretty and nerdy trick.

yes that was a question.

I keep getting Empty Arrays I put in scandir() and it isn't working, then I used the glob()

and my arrays are empty

glob() is more efficient than scandir()

What's the difference between .php and .inc.php?

[upiz]

@ribly102 no difference.

[ribly102]

@upiz Just wondering if there's any difference between them.

[upiz]

@ribly102 difference is only in file name, you can call it as u want, between.php, between.inc.php, between.whatever.php

Thanks for the unset(); that would have help along time ago!

good tutorials as always though, may restructure the site now :)

@navgamingtk I agree, using file_exists() and basename() would probably be a better solution.

eg:

$file = $pages_dir . '/' . basename($p) . '.inc.php';

if (file_exists($file))

...

basename will strip any path from the name and just return the filename.
