Dynamic URL PHP Include

[presyce]

I cant seem to get my index.php to include any pages. The include can only point to the default page. if it doesnt have a default page it points to 0.php and wont show other pages when the url is ...index.php?page=media

 

my code

<?php

$page = $_GET['page'];

$pages = array('home', 'news', 'media' '');

if (!empty($page)) {

if(in_array($page,$pages)) {

$page .= '.php';

include($page);

}

else {

echo 'Page not found. Return to

<a href="index.php">index</a>';

}

}

else {

include('home.php');

}

?>

 

my links

<a href="index.php?page=news">News</a>

 

THANKS A LOT!

Could be because of a syntax error:

 

$pages = array('home', 'news', 'media', ''); // comma needed before the ''

 

But not sure why you would have '', it would allow for a .php included which would throw an error. I believe, but yea. See what that does for ya.

no, thats not it. its acutally ' ' not ". i've tried other codes as well and it fails to show the page im trying to get from the url, only the default . if else dont work either. ive never had a problem with this before. im thinking it might be my server?

i just found the problem.. it was the code i had at the top of the page

<?php

$curdir = getcwd ();

chdir('/home/presyce/public_html/forum');

require_once('/home/presyce/public_html/forum/global.php');

chdir ($curdir);

?>

it was for my login code on my home page. the include works when i took this code off. why is this messing up my include though? thanks

Do some debugging, echo out $curdir and see where it is sending you to. Are the files that you want to be included in that directory?
