Change include ($info) to different value when clicking link

[king.oslo]

Hello,

 

I am trying to learn php, and I am practising sessions.

 

I want to use index.php as the only file which I would like to open in the browser. I am using include ($info) and include ('menu.inc.php') to add contents.

 

I am stuck though. Can I use a link which will reload:

 

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "?" . SID;

 

...and then somehow update $info with a new filename associated with the link, so that that include($info) reloads index.php but with new contents?

 

How would I do that?

 

Thanks!

 

Marius

Try this King.

 

Contents of "a.php":

 

Hello, this message is being served from a.php!<br/>

 

Contents of "b.php":

 

Hello, this message here is from b.php!<br/>

 

Contents of index.php

 

<?php

echo("This will always be at the top.<br/>");

//# This will dynamically include the file in the querystring "page". Example index.php?page=a or ?page=b
include($_GET['page'].".php");

echo("This will always be at the bottom.<br/>");
?>

That is hackable. Someone can upload a file to the site and run it with that.

Nothing is foolproof, I was just giving him a concept to run with.

Just make your default landing page like this:

<?php

$page = $_GET['page'];
if($page == 'a'){
  $view = 'a.php';
}elseif($page == 'b'){
  $view = 'b.php';
}else{
  $view = 'default.php';
}

echo("This will always be at the top.<br/>");

//# This will dynamically include the file in the querystring "page". Example index.php?page=a or ?page=b and now it won't be hackable
include($view);

echo("This will always be at the bottom.<br/>");
?>

That is better. I would change a long if, else if to a switch.

[XaeroDegreaz]

Yeah switch would be better, I agree.
