can anyone solve this?

Hi,

I'm using the script...

<?php
require_once("folder/page.htm");
?>

to 'include' files in different directories. BUT it returns a parse error when I try to pass the page to be included in the URL. So:

<?php
require_once("$page.htm");
?>

Will NOT work. Unhelpfully and ambiguously for a novice like me, the error message says that...

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING' in /home/m/mitya/public_html/page.php on line 196 (line 196 being the line with the code on).

The gist of it is this: How do I 'include' (or require) files that are defined by a $ in the URL and which might be in other folders.

Thanks in advance.

Querystring looks like this

?folder=lib&page=globals.php

include looks like this

include "$DOCUMENT_ROOT/$folder/$page";

Hi- thanks for the reply. I'm afraid I don't really know what it means (!), bit of a novice, but I've solved the problem so thank you anyway.
