A little question... 1

[Guest_imported]

I have been trying to make a site that uses includes to insert different articles depending on the links this way:

Link:

http://site/articles.php?article_id=1

And articles.php has the following include:

<?php
include('article' . $article_id . '.html');
?>

So that would insert article1.html.

That gives me the following error:
Error 0: not found

Any ideas how I might get that to work using includes and variables in the url?

 

[Hokey]

Is article1.html in the same folder as articles.php?

Yes it is.
I have tried even with the following url
<a href=&quot;article.php?articleid=article1.html&quot;>Click here</a>

Then in article.php :
<?

include($articleid)
?>

And that wont work either.
I am aware this could present a security issue but Im just trying to see what Im doing wrong.

Try:

<?php 
$mypage = &quot;article&quot;.$article_id.&quot;.html&quot;;
include(&quot;$mypage&quot;); 
?>

This worked for me! -gerrygerry

also, try this:

<?php
include_once($DOCUMENT_ROOT.&quot;/relative/location/to/file/article&quot;.$article_id.&quot;.html&quot;
?>

Although PHP assigns the current directory as the default include location, there is no guarantee that it is actually looking there.
