[Resolved] Including with $GET_

fire_cracker

I am working out a new template for my site, and I want to use includes so that I never have to touch the template files, just the content files. I want to pass a varriable through the url, like http://www.myserver.com/index2.php3?page=test.html

In index2.php3 I have it set up to include the page that is called through the url

<?
include("$GET_['page'];
?>

I've also tried to echo the $GET_ statement into a varriable, as well as into the include statement. I've tried taking out quotes, changing quotes, and pretty much everything else possilbe. Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

If you are using PHP3 $_GET does not exist.

You'll probably have to use $HTTP_GET_VARS

why are you using PHP3 anyway?

I use a paid host, it is a lot cheaper then going through a local provider here, and all use is php3 (i think). I've used the $GET_ var before, and it has worked in a lot of other situations; however, it doesn't seem to be working right here. I was wondering if it maybe had to do with the fact that I am using it in an include statement, which is something I've never done with it before.

$GET is bad... $GET is good...

I have tried both $HTTP_GET_VARS and $_GET and I am still getting errors. Below is the error that it keeps throwing up at me

Parse error: parse error, expecting T_STRING' orT_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in /usr/home/USERNAME/websites/WEBSITE/index2.php3 on line 44

Paste your code... the error you got means there is an error in your code...

Here is the whole body of the file. Let me know what you think the problem might be.

I think that

include("$_GET['page']");

should be

include($_GET['page']);

-- OR --

include("$_GET[page]");

Whoops. I can't believe I didn't think of that :eek:. It is working fine now. I have a few other problems to figure out here, and then my new template can go up 😃
