$site=$_REQUEST[‘site’];
$site.=".php";
include $site;
or in 1 line
include $_REQUEST[‘site’].“php”;
While resago is technically correct, I would recommend a more secure way. The reason it is insecure is that it allows them to input any path they want, it can be a file that’s not even in your web directory, or even on your server.
What I would recommend is to create a “.php” file containing an array of all the sub-pages and their name, for example ‘$approved_list = Array( “contact”=>“contact.php”, “login”=>“login.php”)’ and you can include the file containing that array wherever you may need it. Then you would do…
if( in_array( $_GET[ 'site' ], $approved_list) ) {
include( $approved_list [ $_GET[ 'site' ] ] );
} else {
print 'No hacking for you.';
}Additionally, this allows you to hide the true path of pages, for example if you have several sub-directories.
