A while ago I was using a page system where my main template had this code in the body of it.

PHP Code:

 <?php include("content.inc"); ?>

Which was set up to put specific html from another page into that one.

The "content.inc" file had code like this

PHP Code:

<?php 
if(!$content) include("includes/index.php");
if($content == about) include("includes/about.php");
?>

so if i clicked on a click a link with

index.php?content=about

It would display the file from about.php within my index.php

I have tried to use this tonight and it is not working. Have I lost my mind? lol

PHP Code:

if ($_GET['content'] == 'about') {
...
} 


I'm guessing you've upgraded your PHP to 5 where that type of thing has been disabled.

Which type of thing, Arenlor?

I think they're called globals, you have to declare a variable now, before you could do it the way he was and it'd look in al $_REQUEST variables to try to find it.

yeah i am still confused on this if anyone can help further

Replace the code in content.inc with this :

<?php  
  if(array_key_exists('content', $_GET) && ($_GET['content'] = trim($_GET['content'])) != '' )
  {
    if($_GET['content'] == about) 
    {
      include("includes/about.php"); 
    }
  }
  else
  {
    include("includes/index.php"); 
  }
?>
