How do I include a file that is determined from a function??
Hi, I am trying to dynamically select which blurb to include on the page according to which link was clicked.
But its not working even though 1blurb.php is a an active page: http://gowiththemaster.com/tleithoff/1blurb.php
http://gowiththemaster.com/tleithoff/about.php?menu=1&type=1blurb
Anyone know how to do this?
include 'header.php';
$blurb = blurbs();
var_dump($blurb);
include $blurb;
include 'footer.php';
But its not working even though 1blurb.php is a an active page: http://gowiththemaster.com/tleithoff/1blurb.php
http://gowiththemaster.com/tleithoff/about.php?menu=1&type=1blurb
Anyone know how to do this?
// Determines which blurb should be included
function blurbs() {
if(isset($_GET['type'])) {
$blurb = $_GET['type'];
$blurb = "'" . $blurb . ".php'";
return $blurb;
}
}

You can have a list of allowed blurbs somewhere against which you can compare. Or you can parse the query string to remove ../ and only include files in a specific blurb directory.
