fix old code to work in new php ver

Anon

i have a this piece of old code:

$page="$htdir$page.ht";
if (file_exists($page)) {
require($page);
} else {
echo "$error_message";
};

it worked fine until i upgraded php from 4.1.2 to 4.2.x, could anyone suggest some code to accomplish the same task but work with a new version of php? it needs to have index.php?page=index set $page to $htdir$index.ht and then display $page. the error message thing in the old code is not needed. i just want something that will work.

Change $page to $HTTP_GET_VARS['page']

For best performance use:
$_GET['page']
instead of:
$page or $HTTP_GET_VARS['page']

See http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php#language.variables.superglobals

i tried this:
$HTTP_GET_VARS['page']"$htdir$page.ht";
if (file_exists($page)) {
require($page);
} else {
echo "$error_message";
};

and it failed, but i dont know if thats what u meant. how would the code you are thinking of look?
