[RESOLVED] newbie help

ddbzdz

Firstly I want to say sorry for being a such newbie... I'm currently having some trouble w/ my php include codings not working in version 5.24 while it worked back in 4.3.3 when i first got it. I've tried search on the forums and google for a solution but i couldn't find one. so here is the code hope someone can help me please.

it is a basic navigation to content thingy...

<?
    if($page == "") {

include "front.html";
}
else{
$page = $_GET['page'];
if(eregi("^[a-z0-9\-_\.]+$", $page, $regs))
{
    $dir = ""; //not strictly necessary, can be blank.
    $ext = ".html"; //.php, .html, .txt, whatever
    if(file_exists($dir . $page . $ext))
    {
        include($dir . $page . $ext); //or readfile if not expecting php code
    }
    else
        include("index.php?page=front"); //or something similar
}
else
    echo 'Naughty Naughty, very Naughty.';
}//footer stuff
?>

Please specify what you mean by "not working". (Does nothing get included, or does the wrong file get included, or do you get a fatal error message, or what?)

Also, where does $page initially get set?

ddbzdz

nothing gets included, it is initialy set when

if($page == "") {

include "front.html";
}

this is my index.php for my site www.cafezensushi.com

if($page == "") {

That does not set the value of $page, it compares it to an empty string. If that is the first place in your script that $page appears, then I suspect that the problem may be a change in register_globals settings. Try changing that line to:

if(!isset($_GET['page']) or $_GET['page'] == "")

ok now it would go to other pages but it wouldn't get the file right

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/dzjour5/public_html/index.php on line 47

is the error i got
