switch statement help :/

[iRloading]

ok, trying to make a website using switch statements to change the contents~

 

switch problem

 

so everything is accounted for, header, footer, content.php

 

using content.php as placeholder for the "content" which is supposed to change when you click on a link

 

so my content.php:

 

<?php echo $page; ?>

 

and in my index.php:

 

$page = $_GET['page'];

switch($page){

case '1':

$page = '/1.php';

break;

 

with 1.php supposedly being what's supposed to be inside the "contents"

 

but instead of displaying the contents of 1.php inside the contents of the website, it simply displays "1.php"

 

sorry if I sound confusing, since using php is confusing for me~

 

 

so summary:

 

clicking on link should change the "contents" into the contents of "1.php" but what's happening is it's displaying the text "1.php" in the "contents" box like it was echo

Make "$page = '/1.php'" into "$page = include('/1.php');" maybe?

aha, thanks~

 

seems I was going about it the wrong way, I didnt need to have a contents.php for the contents of 1.php to be called into

 

I could just call 1.php directly into the scene in itself

 

so now it's:

 

switch($page){

case '1':

$page = include('1.php');

break;

 

thanks man
