I hope this makes sense to someone here.

I have a file called 'file_definitions.php' that is used to call in all of my files, and looks something like follows:



<?$query = "SELECT latest_week FROM week_index WHERE season=
2002";


$result = mysql_query($query);


$row = mysql_fetch_row($result);


if (!isset($week)) {


  $week=$row[0];


  $lastweek = $week;


}


else $lastweek = $row[0];


if (!isset($report)) $report=0;


$SYWC = "02";


if ($week &lt; 10) $SYWC .= "0";


$SYWC .= $week;


$ext = ".php?week=".$week."&amp;report=";


$FL[0] = "_standings".$ext."0";


$FL[1] = "_tiebreaker".$ext."1";


$FL[2] = "_allstars".$ext."2";?>

Is there a simple way that I can include this file and then to link in each of my pages? I need to try to do this as my file names vary based upon what week I am in, and I don't want to edit every link each week.

If I'm understanding correctly, you could add the following to the end of your file and then call the file with PostWrap:

echo "<a href=\"$FL[0]\">standings</a>";
echo "<a href=\"$FL[1]\">tiebreaker</a>";
echo "<a href=\"$FL[2]\">allstars</a>";

Probably needs tweaking as I have no idea what your dirs and stuff are, but this will print links to your files and when clicked load that file.

Thanks Shawn. I'm relatively new to postnuke and php, but I've learned a ton, and understand what your saying. What I'm trying do is convert an existing menu system I have to work with postnuke, and using postwrap. That file above is naming all of the file names, and I have another menu.php file something like this to for all the current links.

code:
<tr><td> <a href="<? echo($antes.$SYWC.$FL[0].$options); ?><span class=box2> Scores and Standings</span></a></td></tr>
<tr><td> <a href="<? echo($antes.$SYWC.$FL[1].$options); ?><span class=box2> Tiebreaker Summary</span></a></td></tr>
< /blockquote>

But I'm uncertain of where I need to include the file so that postwrap can find the file name. I think thats my first step in getting this to work correctly.
