I'm working on a basic template script for a friends web site.

this is what i've conjured so far (as an example of part of it);

PHP Code:

<?php

$page = $_GET['page'];
$link = "content/".$page."/title.txt";

if (!include($link)) { // line 9
include('$link');       // line 10
} else { 
include('content/home/title.txt');
}

?>

The problem is if $page (which receives it's value from the URL) is invalid or undeclared then I get 4 warnings about line 6 and 7 and the content of the 'else' isn't executed.
I don't know how to make the 'if' any more graceful. What can I do?

What are the errors?

errors have a lot of relevance. They can give you tons of info if you know how to read them properly. Besides that, why ask for help if the first time someone try's to help you ask them what the relevance of their question is? Maybe they know something you don't, isn't that the point of your asking?

ok, sorry.

the errors are as follows;

Warning: main(content//subnav.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Users/nat/Sites/BS/vartest.php on line 9

Warning: main(): Failed opening 'content//subnav.txt' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in /Users/nat/Sites/BS/vartest.php on line 9

Warning: main($link): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Users/nat/Sites/BS/vartest.php on line 10

Warning: main(): Failed opening '$link' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in /Users/nat/Sites/BS/vartest.php on line 10

I think i must have miss-read your reply the first time, thought u said "what are errors"

On line ten take out single quotes or the ' surrounding the variable. Single quotes make it litteral so its looking for $link instead of the value of the link.

Thanks that helped :-)

I also managed to solve the other problem. After a bit of more research and tinkering I found

if (is_readable($link))

works much better for me than

if (!include($link))

All better
