Hi,

I have a form which has an input field called "year", and once the submit button is clicked, the following code will run.

<?php
$userinput = @$_POST["year"];
$path = "index.php?mC=$userinput.php";
Header("Location: $path");
?>

The above code will display a page inside a div on my main page and this works fine. What i would like to do is to see if i can alter the above code, so that if the page is not found, i will take the user to a not found page withing my index.php page.

I know that it has to be done something along the if ... else statement, but not sure which keywords to use.

Thank you for any help.

I take it you're just including $userinput.php in your index file? If so, you can just do:

if(!file_exists('/some/path/to/'.$_GET['mC']))
{
    // Display an error page instead
}
else
{
    // Display the $_GET['mC'] page...
}

Hope that helps.
