problem loading website through url vars with new version of php

[ezsmooth]

<?php

$ACCEPT_FILE['home'] = 'home.html';
$ACCEPT_FILE['general'] = 'general.html';
$ACCEPT_FILE['attorneys'] = 'attorneys.html';
$ACCEPT_FILE['contact'] = 'contact.html';
$ACCEPT_FILE['login'] = 'login.html';

$pagename = $ACCEPT_FILE[$id];
if (!isset($pagename)) $pagename = "home.html"; // default file 
include( $pagename );

?>

the url looks like: www.yoursite.com/index.php?id=general

 

Ever since i think like php 5 came out i am unnable to load pages it just defaults to the home.html no matter what variable is defined. any ideas or help would be appreciated. Its almost like its not defining the pagename variable until the bottom where $pagename = "home.html". ive been looking at it and reading the manuals for hours and figured its time to make a post. thanks.

it looks like you were relying on register_globals, you need to define $id as something.

doesnt $id get defined in the URL such as www.yoursite.com/index.php?id=general where 'general' defines the $id variable. If this is the case where and what could i define id to other than it being defined initially in the url? thanks for the help. matt

its actually not passing the variable from the url bar to the code. any idea how to fix this?

<?php

$v1 = $_GET['id'];

$ACCEPT_FILE['home'] = 'home.html';

$ACCEPT_FILE['general'] = 'general.html';

$ACCEPT_FILE['attorneys'] = 'attorneys.html';

$ACCEPT_FILE['contact'] = 'contact.html';

$ACCEPT_FILE['login'] = 'login.html';

 

$pagename = $ACCEPT_FILE[$v1];

if (!isset($pagename)) $pagename = "home.html"; // default file

include( $pagename );

 

 

?>

 

 

 

 

 

 

does this look secure? did i define the variable in the correct space? it works now. thanks.
