Bodhran Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I am having some real problems with the code in red below which sits in my "index.php" file, and would be very grateful for any help! <?php include("header.php"); include $_GET["view"] . ".php"; include("footer.php"); ?> The links for my "views" (e.g. <a href="?view=page_news">News</a> ) are in my "header.php" file. The whole website works absolutely fine, except when you first arrive on the homepage you get: Notice: Undefined index: view Warning: include(.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory This is presumably because a link hasn't been clicked yet, thus a "view" hasn't been defined yet, but I have no idea how to get around this! I hope I haven't been too vague with my explanation... Thanks, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodhran Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 I stupidly uploaded my files to the server before properly testing them, so you can see my problem in action at "thehurricanes.co.uk" if it helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 if (isset($_GET['view'])) { include $_GET["view"] . ".php"; } else { // include some default } you'd best check the file exists locally before including it too as this method alone opens a massive security hole.
