include script help

I have a small include script to grab "content" from text files.

Here's part of my index.php

<?php
if($HTTP_GET_VARS['page'] == '$') {
    include('$.txt');
}
elseif(include('index.txt'));
?>

So basically if I just go to www.mysite.com it will bring up everything for the index page.

But if I have a text file name content.txt and try to bring it up as http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=content it wont work.

What am I doing wrong?

try:

if($HTTP_GET_VARS['page']) {

include("$page.txt");

Using

index.php?page=content

Then:

$HTTP_GET_VARS['page'] will be set to
'content'

$page will == 'content'

If you use DOUBLE QUOTES

"$page.txt" will == 'content.txt'

If you use single quotes, however,
'$page.txt' will == '$page.txt' - not what you want.

NOTHING EVER == $

$ is a token only -- it says 'Whatever follows is a variable'

$HTTP_GET_VARS['page'] ==$ will always translate as false

'$.txt' (your original) would produce that exact (meaningless) string

"$.txt" would probably throw some sort of warning or error.

thanks, I got everything working
