include and get?

@SyCoJan 29.2009 — #Just to clarify GET isn't a function it's a variable, or more correctly a superglobal array. It's usually written GET in uppercase to distinguish it from a verb eg 'do you get this'?

So first to show you how not to do it, this is bad code

[code=php]include $_GET['page'];[/code]

because anyone can change the GET values and access any file, like you configurations perhaps or passwords. So you can only allow certain things to be accepted using the switch().

[code=php]switch($_GET['page']){
 case 'index':
 include 'index.php';
 break;
 case 'contact':
 include 'contact.php';
 break;
 case 'gallery':
 include 'pictures.php';//can be anything
 break;
 default:
 'error.php';
 }
 [/code]

If someone tries to enter something not in the switch it will default to your error page (or index or whatever you put in default)

Of course you have to update this switch every time you add a new page. You can avoid this by securing the GET variables using an md5() hash but that might be a little ahead of you for right now.
