[Michael007]

Hello, im tring to code an evaluation system and i have this code to display pages

<?
if ($x == "") $x = "home2";
if (!file_exists($x.".html")) $x = "home2";
include($x.".html");
?>

i have a server and it only shows on the local machine it doesnt show up on remotes machine so i would apreciate it if any one of u could help...

Where/How is the $x variable being defined initially for the first comparison?

[Michael007]

i store the initial value on a cookie and this value is empty

The code doesn't make sense to me. In the first line you set the file prefix name, then in line two if the file doesn't exist you just set the name again to the same thing. Then in line three you try to include it, whether or not it exists.

what happens is this, if the file doesnt exist it will send me to the main page again its supose to send it to an error.html but im to lazy to make the page so i just made it that it could send it to the initial page

<? 
if ($x == "") $x = "home2"; 
if (!file_exists($x.".html")) $x = "home2"; 
include('$x.html'); 
?> 

Try quoting your entire include...
