[Resolved] Localhost and id=page

[satanclaus]

Ok...I've been trying to get this $id=page thing to work on my localhost, to save me time with interfaces etc for each page...my code is as follows

<?php 
if ($page=="downloads") {
include ("downloads.txt");
}

elseif ($page=="information") {
include ("information.txt");
}

elseif ($page=="staffjoin") {
include ("staffjoin.txt");
}

elseif ($page=="staff") {
include ("stafflist.txt");
}

elseif ($page=="features") {
include ("features.txt");
}

elseif ($page=="previews") {
include ("previews.txt");
}

elseif ($page=="reviews") {
include ("reviews.txt");
}
?>

and obviously Im using the home.php?page=reviews thing. But when testing on my localhost, the page refreshes...but no content goes into the table where it's supposed to, but when I try it on my hosting service...it works no problem. I don't understand what the problem is.

btw I'm running XP Pro, Apache Server 2.0.46 and PHP 4.3.1.

Hi,

Two options:

• You have register_globels switched off (Nowadays a default, keep it this way) and to be able to use variables from the url, you first have to "GET" them:

$page = $_GET['page']

• You have problems with the file-paths.

---

Suggestion:

if (isset($_GET['page']))
  {
  $cpage = $_GET['page'].".txt";
  include($cpage); 
  }
  else
  {
  echo "Here I should load the default page";
  }

Ok that code works. thanks.

I leave register globals off basically because people say it's dangerous when on or something, I'm only a n00b...and most things on the net for this stuff is for register globals switched on.
