can anyone take a look at this script?

@MichaelttkkMar 21.2006

page.php

1 <a href=”article.php?article=index”>Index</a> 
2 <a href=”article.php?article=aboutus”>About Us</a> 
3 <a href=”article.php?article=business”>Business </a> 
<?
$article = (isset($_GET[‘article’])) ? $_GET[‘article’] : ‘index’;
include(“$article.php”);
if (isset($_GET[‘index’]))
{
$index=$_GET[‘index’];

$aboutus=$_GET[‘aboutus’];
$chicken=”article”;
include(“$article.php”);
}
else
{
$chicken=”$article.php”;
include(“$article”);
}
?>

the index page(1) and the aboutus(2) page works since they’re in the same location with this file. But the business(3)page is located in a sub folder. What possibly might be the solution? thanks in advanced. it’s for article pages. The links would be like

~~[url]~~www.server.com/article/?article=study[/url]
~~[url]~~www.server.com/article/?article=math[/url]
~~[url]~~www.server.com/article/?article=computer[/url]
or
~~[url]~~www.server.com/article/page.php?article=study[/url]
~~[url]~~www.server.com/article/page.php?article=math[/url]
~~[url]~~www.server.com/article/page.php?article=computer[/url]

$article = (isset($_GET['article'])) ? $_GET['article'] : 'index';

if($article == "business")

$article = "subfoldername".$article;

include("$article.php");

...

@MichaelttkkauthorMar 21.2006 — #I tried various way but it still shows error like

Warning: main(index): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /web/users/samdol/articles.php on line 33

Warning: main(): Failed opening 'index' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /web/users/samdol/articles.php on line 33

could you please give a full code? 2 anchor links from same directory while the other one or many more files will be from subfolder

and this section

{

$index=$_GET['index'];

$aboutus=$_GET['aboutus'];

$chicken="article";

include("$article.php");

}

I think is related to database which I don't need; I got this code from a friend ,

@bathurst_guyMar 22.2006 — #I dont see where it is referencing this error in this code. What is on line 33?

@MichaelttkkauthorMar 22.2006 — #article.php

index.php and aboutus.php are in the same directory with article.php

(www.server.com/articles.php)/

(www.server.com/aboutus.php)

but the business.php is in the subdirectory

(www.server.com/article/business.php)

here is the result on click of <a href="article.php?article=business">Business </a>

Index (working link)

About Us (working link)

Business (not working)

-----------------------------
And I tried inserting the code of yours,

20 <?

21 $article = (isset($_GET['article'])) ? $_GET['article'] : 'index';

22 if($article == "business")

23 $article = "article".$article;

24 include("$article.php");

25 {

26 $index=$_GET['index'];

27 $aboutus=$_GET['aboutus'];

28 $chicken="article";

29 include("$article.php");

30 }

31 else

32 {

33 $chicken="$article.php";

34 include("$article");

35 }

36 ?>

in a black page there's this at the top

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ELSE in /web/users/samdol/articles.php on line 31

@SheldonMar 22.2006 — #What has happened to the use of your VB Tags?

Try a switch, i think is may be a batter use of what you are doing

[code=php]
 
 //<a href="article.php?article=index">Index</a><br>
 //<a href="article.php?article=aboutus">About Us</a><br>

 #                                                     #
 
 if(isset($_GET['article'])){
 $article = $_GET['article']; 
 }else{
 $article = "index";
 }
 switch($article){
 
 case "index":
 //case is index
 include("index.php");
 break;
 
 case "aboutus":
 //case is aboutus
 include("aboutus.php");
 break;
 
 case "business":
 //case is business
 include("business.php");
 break;
 
 default:
 //doesnt match
 include($article.".php");
 break;
 
 }
 
 //I dont understand what you are trying to do with anything else there
 ?>[/code]

@SheldonMar 22.2006 — #Well read the errors then And you still didnt use VB tags (Duh - [ php ] code here [/ php ]).

Your error is
Failed opening 'business.php'[/quote]
Is business.php in the same folder as your article?

are the all in the same folder?

If not post the locations of both the files to be included and article.php

@MichaelttkkauthorMar 22.2006 — #one thing that I'm sure is, business.php is in (www.server.com/article/business.php) the subfolder.

articles.php is in the same directory as index.php (www.server.com/articles.php)

I've just heard of VB tags and Googled itand found [code=php]code[/code] but still got to find out more

@MichaelttkkauthorMar 22.2006 — #Thanks Sheldon! It works now.

I changed

[code=php]
 case "business": 
 //case is business (not for subfolder files)
 include("business.php"); 
 break;
 [/code]

[code=php]
 case "business": 
 //case is business (for subfolder files)
 include("article/business.php"); 
 break;
 [/code]

Thanks again, Sheldon.

@MichaelttkkauthorMar 22.2006 — #I didn't see bathurst_guy's code

[code=php]
 <? 
 $article = ((isset($_GET['article']))?$_GET['article']:"index"); 
 switch($article){ 
 case "business": 
 include("article/business.php"); 
 break;

 //doesnt match 
 include($article.".php");

It works, too. Thanks to you too, bathurst_guy.
