Greetings all
I know there are a couple of threads on this topic already--I have read
they both, but I need a little clarification on process.
I currently have a static XHTML page that consists of:
Banner area
......Weather Info
......Flash Banner
......Event Calendar
Left Bar
......Menu
......Message Scroller
......Counter
Content Area
......iframe to hold this
Right Bar
......About us

I have created a banner.php, leftbar.php and copyright.php . These
files are referenced in an index.php
<div id="bannerarea" >
<div id="weather"<?p hp include("weathe r.php"); ?</div>
<div id="banner"<?ph p include("banner .php"); ?</div>
<div id="calendar">< script type="text/javascript"
src="calendar.j s"></script></div>
</div>
<div id="copyright" >
<?php include("copyri ght.php"); ?>
</div>
<div id="contentarea ">
<div id="leftbar">
<div id="menu"><?ph p include("menu.p hp"); ?></div>
<div id="message"><s cript type="text/javascript"
src="scroller.j s"></script></div>
<div style="bottom:1 %;position:abso lute;"><?php
include("counte r.php"); ?></div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="content">
<?php include(" **Changable Content Here**"); ?>
</div>
</div>
I would like to have a user click on the appropriate menu button and
have the Content div populated. What I read in the long thread on this
topic was to use <a href="index.php ?content=news.p hp>News</a>. And now
the source of my confusion.
1) Does using this format require the creation of a page for each menu
item?
2) The example in the thread does not tell me how the "content=" command
directs the output to the correct div.
3) Is there another way?
As a side note, this is an interim solution while I get a CMS site
designed. Unfortunately, this page is volunteer work so it only gets
attention as other realities allow.
Any assistance would be appreciated, and my apologies for not getting it
the first time...
