Include-problem

[chataqua]

I found this include-script on a website, but it won't work....
What's the problem:

<?php

$sjekk = isset($side);

if ($sjekk == 1) {
if (@fopen("include/$side.php", "r")) {

include ("include/$side.php"); }

if (!(@fopen("include/$side.php", "r"))) {
include("404.php"); }
}

if ($sjekk <> 1) {
include("include/hoved.php");

}

?>

According to the tutorial I should be using <a href="index.php?page=$page">$page</a> to get the script to work, but it won't work... I've put the files in the right directories and all the files ends with .php, so what is the problem??

this does look a bit confused ...

first, if your variable is $side, you should use $side instead of $page in the link I think.

then, if you use a fairly recent php version, you may need to use $_GET['$side'] instead of $side in your script.

then, the if-else constructs may be a good idea to make it look nicer, and the $sjekk variable is not really necessary.

<?php 
if (isset($_GET['side'])) { 
    if (@fopen("include/".$_GET['side'].".php", "r")) { 
        include ("include/".$_GET['side'].".php"); 
    } else { 
        include("404.php"); } 
} else { 
    include("include/hoved.php"); 
} 

?>
