Adding predefined text to webpage

mandude · Mar 2, 2012

Not sure if that title encapsulates what I am trying to say, but basically I have the script that can work if the page is on the root of the domain with htaccess, but not in a subfolder.

I just want an easy way to have it so if I type in a domain name such as: www.mysite.com/hi that it will put it in the page where I want.

The code I had was something like:

PHP:

$item = $_GET['item'];
if (!$item) $item = "test";

$item2 = str_replace("-", " ", $item);

then in the page it would have

PHP:

<?=$item2;?>

but I cant get it to work. help please!

So, If I understand you right, you have a file in your root folder you want to include in a subfolder?

foo.php (in your document root, wich could be /www/ or /public_html/)

PHP:

<?php
if(isset($_GET['item']) {
$item = $_GET['item']; }
  else {
$item = "test"; 
         }

$item2 = str_replace("-", " ", $item); 
?>

then in a subfolder called /hi/

PHP:

<?php
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "foo.php");
          
                  echo $item2;
?>

Well the thing is I don't want to use it on the root, because the root is a real website. But I want this function to work in a subfolder.
I guessed I messed up what I was trying to say with the /hi example. What it really would be is www.site.com/subfolder/hi
and then the page would reflect that with the word hi in the place of 'item'

I can get it to work on the root, but not in a subfolder.

If i would be able to understand what you mean, then i would help you.
You are testing GET parameter item, but in your url is nothing like that.

If you just want to use a script from your root, when the url directs to your subdomain, then the example that inviz provided is correct.
