Will This Code Work php linking script ?p=

[demonlord 0]

hi i'm not that great at php so i'm not to sure if this will work or not. but what i want to do is be able to use ?p=staff or what ever page name, with out the php extion, and i would like to no if this simple script i made would work.

the code is:

<?php $p = $_GET['p'];if ( !empty($p) && file_exists('./' . $p . '.php') && stristr( $p, '.' ) == False ) {// pages = directory where you store your pages   $file = './' . $p . '.php';}else{// 1.php =  defult page   $file = './index.php';}include $file;?>

if there is something wrong with this please let me know

It should work fine. I made a little system in a very similar way and it worked fine. Its also good as its simplicity will eliminate a lot of security risks. Systems like this that use DBs have the added risk of SQL injections etc so this method will be a lot more secure.Now you can develop the code more and perhaps make a whole CMS out of it! Good work

Content Management System, like Joomla or Mambo.What they are trying to say is: keep coding and you will get better...

If those codes are in the "index.php" file, it will work.
