calling files ans stuff

[halfwitted]

I have a bunch a variables calling diffrent files into my page, but how do i gave a file that will on be there when a variable is not called?

if i use the else tag it will only work the variable directly over is and none of the others. So I will get unwanted text in some pages...

if ($section == friends)
{
include ("links/friends.txt");
}

if ($section == site)
{
include ("links/site.txt");
}

just make sure the $section variable has the same name as the .txt file (minus the .txt) which it looks as if you're already done. Then use the following code

if(!isset($section) { // if $section is not set
   include("links/default.txt");
} else {
   include("links/" . $section . ".txt");
}

I did that, I understand why it should work. but i keep getting an error: Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\v2\links.php on line 4 I don't see the problem...

if(!isset($section) {

should be

if(!isset($section)) {

(i didn't add in the closing parenthesis)
