I've been trying to get my website urls to work with an variable in the url to navigate. The script I use is: CODE  <?php  switch ($page) {  case "home":   include home.php;   break;  case "members":   include members.php;   break;  case "diplomacy":   include diplomacy.php;   break;  case "scrims":   include scrims.php;   break;  case "forums":   include forums.php;   break;  default:   include home.php;   break;  } ;?> And I specify the hyperlinks as index.php?page=home etc But it doesnt work, am I doing something rong in this script?

Don't understand half the script, but the first thing I would do is put speech marks or apostrophes round the include statements. Eg:



Becomes.....



What kind of error do you get?

i use a little bit of php and lots of html, html is so much easier for stuff. so i use html for mostly all of the stuff including the navigation. i know hardly anything about php i might learn it one day but not sure. Is using php better or something?

Ah! Exactly what I was trying to do a few weeks ago-

You have to use the 'get' function to get the URL in the address bar first-

I don't remember how to do it exactly, but browse the PHP programming section.

That's the 'crucial' part you're missing. But on the other hand, good work with the cases- just won't work here

Omg, sorry, I overlooked one more thing, the "include" part is actually a function, so it should have the () brackets.. Also, you should use the require() or require_once() functions when doing what you're doing, something like this:
