Can someone help convert this include function to GET?

[violetradio]

Hello guys,

 

My PHP knowledge is little so please bare with me

 

I have created a site to use this code

 

<?php
  if($page) include("$page.php");
  else include("inc_home.php");
?>

 

But recently it started failing. I contacted my web host and they told me that function is now disabled on there servers, but alternatively I could utilise the GET function instead.

 

I had a play around but couldn't quite figure it.

 

Could someone please edit that bit of code to use GET rather than include?

 

Much appreciated,

 

Tom

You can set it in the URL. For example index.php?page=home would set $_GET['home'] to the value of 'home' To use it in your page it is very simple.

 

$page = isset($_GET['page']) AND ctype_alnum($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : 'inc_home';
include($page.'.php');

VERY DANGEROUS!

 

This will enable anyone to run any php file on the web server.

 

Best use a switch() instead to check for valid files being passed in the URL!

file_exsists & in_array functions would help to only allow what you want.
