the problem is with the way the site's structured. if you visit certain pages, the index.php uses the GET method to retrieve the pages from the contents folder: index.php?page=page

Sorry could you explain the problem further when you say:

maybe with an example of the problem

[brandon99919]

well here's the code for the index.php which is pretty much the site's structure:

<?php

//Include the header file
include("top.php");
?>

<!--content-->

<?php


//database connection 
include('includes/basefile.php');

//If the user doesn't have javascript
echo "<noscript><div align='center'><img src='sprites/pokemon/d&p/normal_frame1/mewtwo.png'>
<p class='error'>This site requires JavaScript.</p></div></noscript>";


$show_page = $_GET['page'];
if(!isset($show_page) OR $show_page=="")
   $show_page = "news";
$inc_page = "content/". $show_page .".php";
if(file_exists($inc_page)){
   include($inc_page);
}else{
   echo "<center>
   <img src='/sprites/pokemon/d&p/normal_frame1/weavile.png' /><br />
   The page you're looking for could not be found.<br /> Please check the URL and try again.</center>";
}
?>
<!--end of the content-->
<?php

//Include the footer file
include("bottom.php");
?>

 

the problem is because of the structure, which gets the pages from the contents folder using the GET method, I can't use the GET method for the pages in the content folder, specifically the above script. it just gives an error saying the page doesn't exist.

If you type this in a browser does it come up?

 

http://www.YourDomainHere.Com/content/news.php

 

Again please replace "YourDomainHere" with the actual name of your website.

[dzelenika]

have you tried with:

 

$inc_page = "/content/". $show_page .".php";

 

instead of:

 

$inc_page = "content/". $show_page .".php";

[brandon99919]

yea I tried that and it doesn't display the page. what I'm confused with is the url. when the user clicks the link it goes straight to the page doesn't exist error.

 

here's what the url looks like: www.pcprpg.com/index.php?page=change_party.php?slot=2

that often happens to me:

 

you should not have 2 question marks in url. URL should be:

 

www.pcprpg.com/index.php?page=change_party.php&slot=2

 

(ampersand instead of question mark)

[brandon99919]

it still gives the same "the page doesn't exist" error

[cunoodle2]

it still gives the same "the page doesn't exist" error

Well then I have to ask.  Does the page exist?  If you type it in a browser and it doesn't come up then you either have the wrong directory specified or you haven't uploaded the correct file/filename.

[brandon99919]

the change_party.php file does exist, it's just that it gives that error because of the code from the index.php file (which is in the above posts) and the change_party.php file itself uses the GET aswell so I guess it confuses the code in the index.php which also uses GET. hard to explain but yea  ???

 

UPDATE:  I found the error, turns out all I needed to do was remove the .php from the links in the change_party script, so it works fine now. thanks for the help and sorry if I didn't explain the problem well
