Links . load pages

in my doc i am trying to load a page within a table cel like the
iframe in html

echo"<a href=\"?link=about\">about</a>
         <a href=\"?link=web\">Web</a> 
         <a href=\"?link=email\">email</a>"

then i use an if statement in the table cell where i want my content......

<? if ($link == "about")
{
echo"<p>I am fatal
}
if ($link == "email")
{
echo"<p>I am fatal
}

how do i get the echo replaced to load a page within the table cell
i have tried include, and require but that don't work. 🙁

An include() didnt work?

I have used this same method with includes many times and it has worked for me.

<?php
echo "<a href=\"?link=about\">about</a>";
?>

Then in your cell:

<?php
#assuming you have a file called "about.php"
if ($link == "")
{
exit;
}
else
{
include("$link.php");
}
?>

That should work for you.

Thanxs very much its working now............

🆒 :rolleyes:

Text doesnt portray sarcasm well, but by the look of that last
smilie, I would guess that its not working for you like it should be.

What error are you getting with the include()?

theres no error just error on my part as i have include a the same file already just a typo error so i got the area cannot recall 'variable'

thnxs again
