[SOLVED] PHP Include variables not displaying

[zenigame]

Hello! I'm a new too php and have been trying to make a template solution for a website I'm working on.

I followed a tutorial, http://www.alistapart.com/stories/phpcms/ at alistapart and am developing locally with mamp on osx.

 

I receive these errors:

Notice: Undefined variable: page in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/asb/template.php on line 19

 

Warning: include(.html) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/asb/template.php on line 19

 

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '.html' for inclusion (include_path='.:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/lib/php') in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/asb/template.php on line 19

 

------------------------

 

And my line 19 is:

<?php include ("$page.html"); ?>

 

I enter this as my url:

http://localhost:8888/asb/template.php?page=home

 

Home doesn't display through the template. Any idea what's wrong?

do you have $page  set from $_GET['page'] ??

 

try this:

 

<?php

 

include_once ( "$_GET

---

.html" );

 

?>

 

If that works then your $page variable doesnt contain the correct  data which is actually indicated by this error: Warning: include(NO_FILE_NAME_HERE.html) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/asb/template.php on line 19

Hmm, still no good. I changed my line 19 to include_once ( "$_GET

---

.html" ); but get a similar error. I have the html files in the same directory as template.php too.

 

*ignore the above

Thanks glen, that works perfectly!

How is $page defined?

[zenigame]

Oh wait, now it works!

After trying what glen suggested I didn't define the var in the url.

Thank you thank you thank you!
