[SOLVED] Use GET to display a page, some reason doesn't work.

[MadnessRed]

OK, heres my code.

 

<?php

if ($_GET["page"]="home")
{
include 'index.php';
}

elseif ($_GET["page"]="about")
{
include 'pages/about.php';
}

elseif ($_GET["page"]="contact")
{
include 'pages/contact.php';
}

elseif ($_GET["page"]="links")
{
include 'pages/links.php';
}

elseif ($_GET["page"]="games")
{
include 'pages/games.php';
}

elseif ($_GET["page"]="mm2")
{
include 'pages/mm2.php';
}

elseif ($_GET["page"]="mm2cars")
{
include 'pages/mm2_cars.php';
}

elseif ($_GET["page"]="mm2tracks")
{
include 'pages/mm2_maps.php';
}

elseif ($_GET["page"]="mm2mods")
{
include 'pages/mm2_mods.php';
}

elseif ($_GET["page"]="mm2invert")
{
include 'pages/mm2_invert.php';
}

elseif ($_GET["page"]="portal")
{
include 'pages/portal.php';
}

elseif ($_GET["page"]="prospero")
{
include 'pages/propsero.php';
}

elseif ($_GET["page"]="worms")
{
include 'pages/worms.php';
}

elseif ($_GET["page"]="trackmania")
{
include 'pages/tm.php';
}

elseif ($_GET["page"]="computer")
{
include 'pages/computer.php';
}


else
{
include '404.php';
}
?>

 

so in theory shouldnt this link

 

<a href="http://madnessred.co.cc/page.php?page=about" target="_new">About</a>

 

show pages/about.php?

 

link is below.

change = to ==

this might work

[papaface]

Also this is a better way to do it:

<?php

switch ($_GET["page"])
{
case "home":
include 'index.php';
break;
case "about":
include 'pages/about.php';
break;
case "contact":
include 'pages/contact.php';
break;
case "links":
include 'pages/links.php';
break;
case "games":
include 'pages/games.php';
break;
case "mm2":
include 'pages/mm2.php';
break; 
case "mm2cars":
include 'pages/mm2_cars.php';
break;
case "mm2tracks":
include 'pages/mm2_maps.php';
break;
case "mm2mods":
include 'pages/mm2_mods.php';
break;
case "mm2invert":
include 'pages/mm2_invert.php';
break;
case "portal":
include 'pages/portal.php';
break;
case "prospero":
include 'pages/propsero.php';
break; 
case "worms":
include 'pages/worms.php';
break;
case "trackmania":
include 'pages/tm.php';
break;
case "computer":
include 'pages/computer.php';
break;
default:
include '404.php';
}
?>

You're welcome.

[DeanWhitehouse]

wheres it getting the data from??

[MadnessRed]

<a href="http://madnessred.co.cc/page.php?page=about" target="_new">About</a>

[dezkit]

post the whole code, or just line 10.

[papaface]

neither worked, get error message

Those errors have nothing to do with the code itself, you've got your paths wrong. My code works fine and is actually MUCH better than your if...elseif approach.

[MadnessRed]

ok, then here is my directory structure

 

index.php

page.php

>pages

...about.php

...contact.php

...ect ect

 

any idea why it doesn't work?

[wildteen88]

Try ./pages/page_name.php rather than pages/page_name.php

 

Make sure the pages folder is in the same folder as pages.php

[MadnessRed]

thanks wild teen, that fixed it

[MadnessRed]

and thankyou to everyone who helped.
