Makes sense. Thanks, Obsidian! You've helped a lot!

Alright, I've done this before, and it's taking a lot for me to remember exactly how it was done. In a perfect world, one would go to the index.php page consisting of: [code]<?PHP include ('top.php'); if (!$page) {     $page = "news"; } include ($page . ".php"); include ('bot.php'); ?>[/code] And be automatically shown the top third, the content in the middle, and the closing third. The links to other content then look something like this: [code]<li><a href="index.php?page=news">News</a></li>[/code] However, the result of this script is an include error that's now creating too busy of a server for me (my host must love me =) ). Any ideas why it can't find the correct file to include? I'm sure it's just a simple matter of syntax, it's been many a moon since I last coded. Thanks much in advance, PHPFreaks has always been timely and decisive! - Icbat
