setting varibles in the URL

[joecooper]

the page will be accessed like this:

index.php?module=login

 

and i have this code to load the corosponding page:

include("$module.php");

 

but it doesnt include anything.

 

and doing echo("$module"); doesnt return anything

You would do it like this:

 

include($_GET['module'].".php");

 

This isn't the safest thing to do. Make sure you do a check on the file they put in the URL and make sure you want them to have access to it.

$module = $_GET['module']

 

>_>  AND DO SOME CHECKING.  Make sure they only include modules that YOU allow.  Make an array of modules and use in_array.

[peranha]

you need

 

$module = $_GET['module'];

 

 

 

[trq]

You don't define $module anywhere. It would be..... $_GET['module'].

 

Having said that, it is extremely insecure to simply include files in such a manor. At the very least, try...

 

<?php

  if (isset($_GET['module'])) {
    if (file_exists($_GET['module'] . '.php')) {
      include $_GET['module'] . '.php';
    }
  }

?>

Still not secure....He needs some security.
