Well, I am making a full CMS system for my site, and want to make the index.php file to include the view.php?id=1 file. I tried with this code, but it didn't work:
CODE <?php include 'view.php?id=1' ?> This is the error I get: CODE Warning: main(view.php?id=1) [function.main]: failed to open stream: Invalid argument in C:\server\xampp\htdocs\test\index.php on line 1 Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening 'view.php?id=1' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\server\xampp\php\pear\') in C:\server\xampp\htdocs\test\index.php on line 1 So what can I do? |

Start by using the function in the correct form.
The brackets are required for Include functions to define the target of the file to 'Include'. CODE <?php include('header.html') ?> |

Actually, include "bla.php"; is a perfectly good way of including a file.
Here's how to fix the problem:
And that's it  ========================================== The reason why it doesn't work is because php looks for the file view.php?id=1 on the filesystem not view.php. |

cmatcmextra, I don't have if ($_REQUEST["id"] == "1") in view.php. This is what I have:
CODE $id = $_REQUEST['id'];

QUOTE(jlhaslip @ Jan 29 2006, 11:57 AM) CODE <?php include 'header.html' ?>  Well, I'll be darned... it does so work. Thanks for the lesson. Syntax can be so picky about these things sometimes, it was something that I thought might help. |

Okay then, in view.php change:
CODE $id = $_REQUEST['id']; To: CODE $id = $view_var; And also, I forgot to add in the last post. Change this in index.php: CODE include 'view.php?id=1' To: CODE include 'view.php'; And making the changes shown in my last post in this topic, your problem should be fixed. edit: fixed typos This post has been edited by cmatcmextra: Jan 30 2006, 08:24 AM |

Just to avoid future problems, I would recommend changing:
CODE $id = $_REQUEST['id']; To somethingl ike: CODE $id = isset($_REQUEST['id']) ? $_REQUEST['id'] : isset($view_var) ? $view_var : 0; .Changing to just '$id = $view_var;' means it won't work if someone actually accesses view.php directly. Whether or not that's going to happen in your particular circumstance I don't know, but I like to try to avoid potential problems wherever possible. |
