I tried every thing. But it works in a way. Because if I issue: http://arubaguide.org/arubaguide/categories.php?catcode=dghdfg it will display the 404 page but it all also continue to display the rest. And if you issue: http://arubaguide.org/arubaguide/categories.php?catcode=activities It will display also both. so the script is working but it is not stopping. Here is the complete code. This is the complete code just before the html tag. <?php require_once('../connections/arubaguide.php'); ?> <?php $cat_item = $_GET['catcode']; if(file_exists($cat_item)) { include "$cat_item"; } else { include "404.php"; } if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) { function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") { $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue; $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue); switch ($theType) { case "text": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL"; break; case "long": case "int": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL"; break; case "double": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . doubleval($theValue) . "'" : "NULL"; break; case "date": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL"; break; case "defined": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue; break; } return $theValue; } } $colname_show_cat = "-1"; if (isset($_GET['catcode'])) { $colname_show_cat = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_GET['catcode'] : addslashes($_GET['catcode']); } mysql_select_db($database_arubaguide, $arubaguide); $query_show_cat = sprintf("SELECT id, catcode, category_name, name, text, slogan, main_img FROM items WHERE catcode = %s ORDER BY name ASC", GetSQLValueString($colname_show_cat, "text")); $show_cat = mysql_query($query_show_cat, $arubaguide) or die(mysql_error()); $row_show_cat = mysql_fetch_assoc($show_cat); $totalRows_show_cat = mysql_num_rows($show_cat); ?> <?php function previewString($showcatvar) { $minitxt = $showcatvar; $len = strlen($minitxt); if ($len > 135) { $len = 135; } else { $len = $len; } $newstring = substr($minitxt,0,$len).' ...'; $previewtext = $newstring; return $previewtext; } ?> ""Zoltán Németh"" <znemeth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:1175263890.5023.67.camel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > 2007. 03. 30, péntek keltezéssel 15.56-kor Dwayne Heronimo ezt írta: >> When I echo the $pagename it returns the correct string.
