BIGGEST PHP COMPLICATION OF THE DECADE

[flashback]

my site's coded into php / anyway, whenever I click a link, nothing happens, except the index.php refreshes with the news.html..

http://www.foxyones.net/

Click a link and you'll see..

does anyone know the problem / know how I can fix it / or anything valuable to the prob?

it'll be greatly appreciated!

Maybe you are not coding the URL right. It looks as if you have had it working before..? If not, maybe you should just link directly to the pages instead of putting "php?id=simpson" in the link.

it worked well like two days ago

i rather have those pages inside the content area, though

x()

[flashback]

here's the index.php code in the desired content area:


<?php
if ($id == "") {
  include "news.html";
}
else {
  include "$id.html";
}
?>


anything wrong in that?

my host's IonCube went down a day ago...

i have no idea what it is, but i think it has something to do with php protection

could that in any way effect my pages?

Don't know, but if they have switched off register_globals in the configuration then it might make a difference.
Try replacing $id with $_GET['id'] in your if statements and see if that makes a difference.

it made a difference

now when i click a link, it actually takes me to a different page

but its an error page

still, we're making progress

[flashback]

with adding the code you said

it says;

Warning: main(.html): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/foxyones/public_html/index.php on line 187

Warning: main(): Failed opening '.html' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/foxyones/public_html/index.php on line 187

Hmm, seems that's returning an empty string, so empty string plus .html = ".html", which doesn't exist.
You could try [b]print_r($_REQUEST);[/b] to see what the page is taking in and it will give a better idea of what's going on.
Also, you could make a page with [b]<?php phpinfo(); ?>[/b] on it and this will display alot of configurations that could point to the problem.

i dont understand the configs

looking at it

[ShogunWarrior]

According to the output I think this should work:
<?php
if ($_REQUEST['id'] == "") {
  include "news.html";
}
else {
  include $_REQUEST['id'].".html";
}
?>

jesus you're a freaking genius

thanks for the help, everyone

i would send you all cookies, but i have a meeting to go to

what was the problem, btw? (ill read your response when i return)

[ShogunWarrior]

Well you were checking $id but because the server has upped it's security, if you want to refer to a variable in the address then you must use $_GET or $_REQUEST, with the variable name in square brackets; $_GET['VARNAME'].
