Ares, quick note.

register_globals ON means that $queryStringVar will be set.

register_globals OFF means that it will not be set.

Just a little inconsistency some people might get conf00zed by

If that doesn't work, I'm stumped.

Awesome, it works! Thanks Jeb!

Why use switch and not include? I don't see what's wrong with it, unless there's a security bug somewhere. And, aren't vars supposed to begin with a letter, or was that just CSS..

Edit: Also, it would probably be better not to use XHTML in your code, since if their doctypes and such are wrong, it may cause errors at some point.

Edit2: If none of that made sense, basically I'm trying to say that switches have too much extra syntax.

If your lazy like me, heres code for dynamic includes.
*.php?page=*.php
This is 100% secure to my knoledge, all pages must be .php and be in THE BASE DIR! meaning you CAN NOT include /forums/index.php or /info/stuff.php but has to be whatever.php Enojy if you want to use it. Ill post another one i wrote that is also secure later.

PHP:

<?php

if (isset($_GET['page']) && is_file(basename($_GET['page']))) {
    include(basename($_GET['page']));
} else {
    include(basename('404.php'));
}

?>

i stupended my own signarture

please help

Please help me!

I am trying to figure out these query strings for about a week now ive really been looking for things but none of them have fixed my problem!

How do i do it so when it tells it to goto page=test it only uses the code in test.php?

every page ive tryed and all the code ive tryed the pages just overlap each other and the page/text is included twice!

The problem i think is that im including a page into a page but i don't know how to get around that.

Thanks for any help, its hard to explain, if you need any code or anything or to post my test pages of my site i can do so. but i didn't really want to post the url for everyone to see, maybe i can PM.

If you could post an example I'd be glad to take a look.

LOL after SO MANY HOURS ive worked it out and its so newbieish what it was.

I do know quite alot of php and have been building my site (http://www.code-9.com) for quite some time now.

You guys should really make clear all the query code needs to be in a TOTALLY SEPERATE PHP FILE to everything else. THIS IS REALLY WHAT I THINK PEOPLE ARE GETTING WRONG!

Iwas putting this code into my index/home.php and thats why it was f***ing up.

I feel such a newb now but you live and learn!

So what would be the best way for the code below to print sub navigation links on a page then for the page that is being viewed, do not display the hyperlink.

PHP:

<?php
if ($_GET["page"] == "resume") {
    print "<p class=\"subnav\">Resume</p>";
} else {
    print "<p class=\"subnav\"><a href=\"about_me/resume/\">Resume</a></p>";
}

if ($_GET["page"] == "interests") {
    print "<p class=\"subnav\">Interests</p>";
} else {
    print "<p class=\"subnav\"><img src<a href=\"about_me/interests/\">Interests</a></p>";
}
?>

What is the difference between using if/else statements and case/break?
