Re: [PHP] Question about how to do this...

[Chris Lambert - WhiteCrown Networks]

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.

| Yup =>  Try splitting the pages out into separate files.  I'm betting

| This is probably "not a good idea" if the data is mostly static. There's

| real reason to use the power of a db engine for something this trivial,
| and
| static serving will be faster than a DB system.
