Dynamic Inclusion with Arrays

[mikeruption]

Hi!

I'm new to PHP and I'm having trouble using an array within my script to replace the string from a variable obtained via the URL with the actual name of a directory.  The code is as follows:

Code:

<?php
$url = '';
if (!empty($_GET['category'])) {
$url .= $_GET['category'] . '/';
}
if (!empty($_GET['product'])) {
$prod = array('stationery pads'=>'01 stationery pads', 
'greeting cards'=>'02 greeting cards', 
'magnetic pads'=>'03 magnetic pads',
'journals with locks'=>'04 journals with locks',
'spiral notebooks'=>'05 spiral journals',
'sets'=>'90 sets',
'featured'=>'99 new - featured');
$url .= $prod[$_GET['product']] . '/';
}
if (!empty($_GET['page'])) {
$url .= $_GET['page'] . '.php';
}
echo $url;
?>

Again, I'm new to PHP and I'm sure it's a simple remedy to fix my coding.  Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

OMG!  The above code actually works.  Unfortunately, I didn't realize it until it tried a different approach.  Here's the alternate code:

Code:

<?php
$url = '';
if (!empty($_GET['category'])) {
$url .= $_GET['category'] . '/';
}
if (!empty($_GET['product'])) {
$prod  = $_GET['product'];
$prodlist = array("stationery pads", "greeting cards", "magnetic pads", "journals with locks", "spiral notebooks", "sets", "featured");
$actprod   = array("01 stationery pads", "02 greeting cards", "03 magnetic pads", "04 journals with locks", "05 spiral journals", "90 sets", "99 new - featured");
$actproddir = str_replace($prodlist, $actprod, $prod);
$url .= $actproddir . '/';
}
if (!empty($_GET['page'])) {
$url .= $_GET['page'] . '.php';
}
echo $url;
?>

My mistake was that the variable I was trying to pass through wasn't plural.   

I've learned something from this mistake and I hope others can too.  Always double check your spelling.
