Variable passing via URL :: using in case()

[RavynX]

Hey all, I've been using a switch statement in my dad's webpage in order to decide what page to display or what photos to display.  It's been working for some time now, but I checked his site recently and it passes all of the cases, no matter what that variable is, and goes to the default state.


Example URL: /index.php?page=pricing

[code]
<?php
switch ($page) {
case "pricing":
include('pricing.inc') ;
break;


default:
include('main.inc');
break;
};
?>
[/code]

But instead of loading the pricing.inc file it will load the main.inc.  If I add a case for "main" and make the default case include pricing, the page will pop up as the pricing page.


Also, I work on my /localhost/ using phpTriad, and the website works perfectly.  My /localhost/ uses PHP 4.1.1 while our webhost uses 4.4.1.  Was variable passing affected between the two versions?

looks like  register_globals....

make sure that you have $page = $_GET['page'] somewhere before that switch.

Very nice, thanks for your help.  That fixed it.  :)
