Building a Relational Content Management System in PHP/MySQL - Displaying the Articles
(Page 5 of 5 )
Okay, so now we've reached the fun part, actually displaying the articles for people to read.
Create a file called "index.php":
<?
include("common.php");
$mode = isset($_REQUEST['mode']) ? $_REQUEST['mode'] : '';
$seoname = isset($_REQUEST['seoname']) ? $_REQUEST
['seoname'] : '';
if( !empty($seoname) ){
$seoname = explode("-",$seoname);
$seoname = end($seoname);
}
?>
<table width=100%>
<tr>
<td width=200>
<?
$leftMenu = getPages('parent','0');
foreach($leftMenu as $id=>$page){
echo "<a href='{$page['seoname']}.html'>{$page['title']}
</a><br/>";
}
?>
</td>
<td>
<?
if( !empty($seoname) ){
$page = getPage('seoname',$seoname);
}else{
$page = getPage('id','1');
}
?>
<h1><?=$page['title']?></h1>
<p><?=nl2br($page['body'])?></p>
<?
$kids = getPages('parent',$page['id']);
if( count($kids) > 0 ){
foreach($kids as $id=>$kid){
echo "<a href='{$page['seoname']}-{$kid['seoname']}.html'>
{$kid['title']}</a><br/>";
echo "<p>{$kid['summary']}</p>";
}
}
?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Here, we look to see whether we've passed the $seoname variable, and if we have, we split it into an array and grab its last value. This lets us use that as the article id and display the current article. We can build on this system quite easily.
Conclusion
There we have it: a quick, easy to use Relational CMS.
This CMS can be built on pretty easily and quickly, but I wanted to get the basics down here first.
