Using Include and a Quesry string

Beechtop

Here is what I'm trying to do, but I keep having trouble...

I want to be able to include an HTML file, but not the same one every time. One that loads based on the information in the query string in the browser address bar.

So in other words, i'f I'd like to have a page (for example main.php3), that includes the page text.html (this is the string that can be changed to include whatever page i want, based on whatever I type after the "?"), what is the code that would do this?

Here is the example of the address I'd like to use to call the file.

www.domain.com/main.php3?text.html

So somewhere in the code, www.domain.com would have to be hidden, so that I wouldn't have to have it after the "?'
each time. If someone can please help me with this, I'd be most greatful...

Try something like this:


<html>
<head>
<title>wtf? I'm l33t!</title>
</head>
<body>

<?

switch($_GET['page'])
{

case "search":

  include('./files/search.php');

  break;

case "articles":

  include('./files/articles.php');

  break;

default:

  include('./files/main.php');

  break;

}

?>

</body>
<html>

Get the idea? Take it from there!

Or this...

$query = $QUERY_STRING;
include($query);

also..

echo "<a href=\"test.php?index.html\">Index</a>";
echo "<a href=\"test.php?test.html\">Test</a>";

Hrmmmm There.

No, I don't get how that would open the file from the query string and include it on my template page...
