newbie question

[Anon]

I am trying to make a templated web site.
I in my template I have a call like this:
<?php include "$story" ?>

the index.php3 that call the template has this:
if(!IsSet($story)) { $echo = ("home.html"); }

I want to have a menu bar that changes $story to a different value and reload the page.

How do I go about doing this?
for example a Products link the changes $story to products.html and then includes that in place of home.html

Keep the <?php include "$story" ?> as it is, and setup your links like <a href=$PHP_SELF?story=products.html, then $story will have products.html for a value and that will be included.

hmm... it doesn't seem to work, wouldn't this have to have some code to parse the url to make this work?

Any other ideas?

Sorry, you are correct, I had a $story = home.htm in config.inc.php3 that I included in the template.
After I took that out it works fine.
