Re: navigation include not functioning

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I think you are looking for something like this:

$page = array_key_exists( 'page', $_GET ) ? GET['page'] : 'index';

Then you MUST sanitize the $page variable.

I often use the querystring to wrapp the module you are requesting:

www.example.org/?path/to/molude (note that .htaccess is required)

# the you can access by
echo $path = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
