RE: [PHP] Defining PHP varibles from URL

-----Original Message----- <script language="php"> $file = ""; //the above is defined from the url include "$file"; </script> It could be what I was typing in the url bar. file.php?file=foobar.inc -----Original Message----- Hmm, so you define $file in your url as "foobar.inc" and then, in the page itself you take change $file to be "". At least, that's how I'd read it. I'd suggest, it's not an overly good idea to include a file like this as someone else has already mentioned. In any event, your fix would have to be something like this: <script language="php"> If (!isset($file) || empty($file)) { $file = "some file"; } Include "$file" ; </script> That way you're only going to over-write the contents of $file if it's already either unset or empty.
