Hi Chris,

what's the friendly URL alternative for

<?php
if(!$_GET['id']){
// not viewing a single article, show normal title/description
echo '<title>Example.com - Home</title>';
}else{
// viewing a single article, show the title/description for it
require_once('news/db.php');
require_once('news/config.php');
$data = DataAccess::fetch(sprintf("SELECT title FROM %s WHERE id = ?", NEWS_ARTICLES), $_GET['id']);
$title = $data['0']['title'];
echo sprintf('<title>Example.com - %s</title>', strip_tags($title), PHP_EOL);
}
?>

I tried with

<?php
if($url['0']){
// not viewing a single article, show normal title/description
echo '<title>Example.com - Home</title>';
}else{
// viewing a single article, show the title/description for it
require_once('./content/db.php');
require_once('./content/config.php');
$data = DataAccess::fetch(sprintf("SELECT title FROM %s WHERE id = ?", NEWS_ARTICLES), $url['0']);
$title = $data['0']['title'];
echo sprintf('<title>Example.com - %s</title>', strip_tags($title), PHP_EOL);
}
?>

but then only the 'else'-part works, not the 'if'-part. When using if(!$url['0']){ it doesn't work at all.

Try this



The $url array gets created by news/config.php, so you need to require those files first.

Hi Chris,

I'm sorry, but even with

<?php
require_once('./content/db.php');
require_once('./content/config.php');
if(!$url['0']){
// not viewing a single article, show normal title/description
echo '<title>Example.com - Home</title>';
}else{
// viewing a single article, show the title/description for it
$data = DataAccess::fetch(sprintf("SELECT title FROM %s WHERE id = ?", NEWS_ARTICLES), $url['0']);
$title = $data['0']['title'];
echo sprintf('<title>Example.com - %s</title>', strip_tags($title), PHP_EOL);
}
?>

it only works on pages with an id. On the homepage for example it still says only 'Example.com -' instead of 'Example.com - Home', so the if-part doesn't work, it always outputs the else-part.

This should hopefully work

Hi Chris,

it works like a charm now!

Thanks!
