Re: Question about how to do this...

Or even better, create a system where you can create new pages without adding to the switch statement: <? $page = "/home/full/path/to/site/page_includes/".str_replace("..", "", $page); if (file_exists($page)) require($page); ?> Note that you _need_ to have the full path, else you're creating a security issue. /* Chris Lambert, CTO - chris@whitecrown.net WhiteCrown Networks - More Than White Hats Web Application Security - www.whitecrown.net */ ----- Original Message ----- From: Ben Bleything <bleythbe@mailbox.orst.edu> To: <cuzo@mediaone.net>; 'PHP General List (E-mail)' <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Sunday, July 08, 2001 5:17 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] Question about how to do this... | Yup => Try splitting the pages out into separate files.
