Simple include error.

[jmweb]

I have

<?php
$photos = $HTTP_GET_VARS['photos'];
include('/home/public_html/rocket/images/$photos/')
?>

as my coding. when i am browsing to

I get

Warning: main(/home/public_html/rocket/images/$photos/index.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/gibson/public_html/rocket/pictures.php on line 41

Warning: main(): Failed opening '/home/public_html/rocket/images/$photos/index.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/public_html/rocket/pictures.php on line 41

If the end user brings up pictures.php?photos=pratice it should bring up the pratice folder.
What am i doing wrong?

pratice is a directory

[LordShryku]

You're trying to include a directory???

[jmweb]

the index.php file 😃 in the $photos directory.
I have multiple index.php files setup.

my msn is [email]m[/email] if ya wanna talk..

[LordShryku]

Specify that. You have to include the actual file

include("/home/gibson/public_html/rocket/images/".$photos."/index.php");
