someguy9 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Well I have a index.php page with a content.php script included in it and this is my content.php <? $page = htmlspecialchars($_GET['page']); ;switch($page) { case 'home': include('home.php'); break; case 'signup': include('register.php'); break; case 'video': include('video.php'); break; case 'contact': include('contact.php'); break; case 'videosort': include('videosort.php'); break; case 'archive': include('archive.php'); break; case 'search': include('search.php'); break; case 'games': include('game.php'); break; case 'test1': include('test.php'); break; case '360news': include('news.php'); break; case 'addcomment': include('addcomment.php'); break; default: include('home.php'); ; break; } ?> This is the script I always used and now when I use it on my new layout it jsut doesn't work... I know that the GET Page is working but it seems only to include home.php. Anyone know whats wrong?

therealwesfoster Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 why is there a semi-colon in front of your switch statement? take that out change ;switch($page) to switch($page) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/79905-solved-php-switch-just-not-working/#findComment-404647 Share on other sites More sharing options...

btherl Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Try printing page before the switch, like this: print "page: " . urlencode($page); Is it what you thought it would be?

btherl Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Then that's your problem. You must pass the page argument using $_GET in order to retreive it from $_GET.

SirChick Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 It's only going to the first page of my switch (home), and the 360news one but nothing else your not answering their questions.. which will help them to help you. What is the url when you run the script? Does it have script.php?page=360news if not then it wont work well infact it will work as long as page is correctly spelt across the script (capital letters count too). to get it like that you have to change the url link that was taking the user to that page to have this: <a href="phpscript.php?page=360news">360News</a> This way it will carry the value but change phpscript.php to the name of your php file name..
