[RESOLVED] Old script.....new PHP

deejmer

So, I've had a simple includes script to drive my simple PHP/HTML site for a while now with my shared hosting provider and it has worked great. I just recently changed servers, and it has a more updated PHP, and now my includes are not working anymore.

Please take a peak at the following code and see if there might be a portion that has been degraded with the new version? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

   <?php
   if (empty($page)) {
   $page= "home";
   }
   $file= ("" . $page . ".php");
   if(file_exists($file)) include ($file);
   ?>[/FONT]

where is $page coming from?

a query string like: http://www.domainname.com/page.php?page=home

if so, you likely need to use $_GET['page'] instead of $page, register_globals is likely turned OFF (which is a good thing) so you'll need to do some upgrading of your scripts as well 🙂

You're right, my $page variable is a query string like you listed above. And my new host does have register_globals turned off. So this sounds exactly like the change in my script I need....the only problem being, I am a TOTAL Neub. Can you perhaps take a second to look at my original script and script it as it would need to be to function properly?

Many Thanks......

<?php
$page = $_GET['page']; //only line i added
if (empty($page)) {
$page= "home";
}
$file= ("" . $page . ".php");
if(file_exists($file)) include ($file);
?>
