PHP question I believe

[Ilya020]

Hello guys,

I am making a website which has three pages to it currently http://sig11.zemos.net/ilya2 . It has a main.html, a about.html and a basic.html. The basic.html file is pretty much a template which has an IFRAME

<IFRAME border=0 name=main marginWidth=1 marginHeight=1 src="main.html" frameBorder=0  width="100%"  height=450>

This iframe links to the content of the page. I was wondering if there was a way so that I could have a generic basic.php file where upon the slected destination (about.html or main.html), it will load the page accordingly. This is a bit of a simple questions but my mind has been to absorbed in C lately to think PHP . If you dont understand what I mean, just say so.

Thank you for your time.

basic.php

PHP Code:

<some html stuff on the top.>

<?php
/* just to make sure, the main will be loadet if $page isn't set */
if(!isset($page))
   $page="main";
/* some selection of another page, say main: */
echo "<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?page=main\">main</a>";
echo "<IFRAME border=0 name=main
        marginWidth=1 marginHeight=1 src=\"$page.html\" 
        frameBorder=0  width=\"100%\"  height=450>";
?>
<some html stuff on the bottom >

That'll do what you want..

I figured it out last night after about ten minutes. I was so stupid

src= ' <?     $_GET['page']   ?>.php'

\

Then I can go http://sig11.zemos.net/index.html?page=main or what not....


Ok, I forgot about loading a default page

EDIT: Got the default page thing to work, to lazy to post how...


Thanks,


Ilya

..If you haven't already, $_GET['page'] needs to be scrubbed a bit before including a file..

eg:

$foo = $_GET['page'];
$foo = basename($foo);

Just to make sure nothing bad happens if someone submits the page var like: http://dom/?page=../../../path/to/something/juicy
