Multiple variables in get query string

[BenSeagrave]

I'm trying to make my website so that when you click on a link it changes the dynamic include to the specific page. It's hard to explain so I'll just show you.

The website I'm making is for a tattoo studio, if you go to http://www.btseagrave.co.uk/ink/index.php?p=artists, you can see the two image links for "Bianca Seagrave" & "Bryan Baford". Currently because of the index.php?p=artists, the index is including the artists.inc.php page, but when they click on either bianca or bryan, the url changes to index.php?p=artists&artist=bianca(or bryan) I want it to include bianca.inc.php or bryan.inc.php. I've tried doing something like this:

if(isset($_GET['artist']) {
    $artist = $_GET['artist'];
    if($artist = "bianca") {
        include(bianca.inc.php);
    } elseif($artist = "bryan") {
        include(bryan.inc.php);
    }
} else {
    echo "DEFAULT ARTISTS PAGE CONTENT HERE";
}

But it didn't work, anyone know where I've gone wrong?

Couple of problems I see are that inside both of your if() statement's you're using the assignment operator, meaning you're changing the value contained in $artist (as opposed to comparing that value with a comparison operator). In addition, the value you're passing to the include() statements is missing quotes (since it's a string).

Of course, note you could make the code much more flexible by using [man]glob/man to build an array of filenames that match the pattern "*.inc.php" and then check to see if any of them match the value given in $_GET['artist'] (and, if so, include() that file).
