Help with include function

mick32

On my index.php I have codes like:

<?php include_once ('header.inc'); ?> // it's working in localhost and server

<?php

if ($cmd == null and $mod == null){
include ('mainpage.inc'); // it's working in localhost and server
}

if ($cmd == 1) {
include ('page1.inc'); // it's working in localhost but NOT on server
}

if ($cmd == 2) {
include ('page2.inc'); // it's working in localhost but NOT on server
}

<?php include_once ('footer.inc'); ?> // it's working in localhost and server

When I try to go on index.php?cmd=1 in address bar stand that address, but browser load allways index.php on server. In localhost everithing work fine.

How to solve this problem?
Thanx

You nbeed to retrieve the variable from the $_GET array (Read up on global variables in the manual).

$page = $_GET['page'];

if(is_numeric($page))  // Make sure they don't send you crap
  {
  include("page".$page".inc");
  }
else
  {
  include("default.inc");
  }

Please note: this is a tricky way of organising your site. Make sure you test whether your page number is valid.

Exactly like leatherback said, but if you're using this method, then remember to check whether the file exists with file_exists()

Do what leatherback and intenz says.

It's probably works on your localhost because register_globals is set to on but not is off on the other server.

intenz

Yeah, about your other problem I suggest you try this on both servers...

<?php echo 'Register Globals: ' . ini_get('register_globals'); ?>

If you get ON on either server, change your php.ini so it is set to OFF.

But please do us a favour and read about predefined variables.

Thanx guys, the main reason was register_globals, and I had changed php.ini file and it's working now, but now I will make code just like leatherback said.

Thanx again.

Hi,

Just to be sure.. I am assuming you changed the php.ini to register_globals OFF and NOT to ON, right!?

mick32

Right leatherback, but now I will use your code and link suggestions.
Thanx
