What if your page has a (-) mark, like privacy-policy.php?

**Jamie** · September 23rd, 2008 12:00 PM

Change this:

PHP Code:


// make sure $page is a word only
if (preg_match('/^\w+$/',$_GET['page'])) {
    // include page only if it exists
    if (file_exists("$_GET[page].php")) include "$_GET[page].php";
}

to:

PHP Code:


// make sure $page is a word only
if (preg_match('/^[\w-]+$/',$_GET['page'])) {
    // include page only if it exists
    if (file_exists("$_GET[page].php")) include "$_GET[page].php";
}

I'll update the original post with that info.

Thanks Jamie, works perfect.

I followed the steps here, but I'm getting a 404 error in the page... although it does display the content.

You can see it here: http://squirrelcart.buylube.com/contactus.php

Here's what in contactus.php

Code:

<?php
if (!$_GET['page']) {
    $_GET['page']    = "contactus";
    $Title            = "Contact Us";
    $Keywords        = "";
    $Description    = '';
    include "index.php";
    return;
}
?>

I'm not sure but it seems like when I set mine up I had to add something in the fields:

Code:

    $Keywords        = "";
    $Description    = '';

Try putting something in these and maybe make sure you use regular quotes in the $Description. You could try that.

**tims30** · November 2nd, 2008 01:55 PM

I updated as you suggested... same thing.

PHP Code:


<?php

if (!$_GET['page']) {

    $_GET['page']    = "contactus";

    $Title            = "Contact Us";

    $Keywords        = "Contact Us";

    $Description    = "Contact Us";

    include "index.php";

    return;

}

?>

**Freejoy** · November 2nd, 2008 03:02 PM

I'm not an expert by a Loooooong shot but here's what I would check and try:

Make sure the beginning of the php code on the contact-us.php page is all the way to the top i.e. no space at all.

try putting a dash in contactus like contact-us.

Here's how I have mine:

Code:

<?php  if (!$_GET['page']) { $_GET['page'] = "contact-us"; $Title = "My Beloved Angels Conact Us Form & Information"; $Keywords = "contact us"; $Description = 'My Beloved Angels Conact Us Form & Information'; include "angels.php"; return; } ?>

Mine has been put through a php compression software so its all on one line. I mean if your using Note pad it would be the first thing!

Here's the code exactly like I have it in my store.php page:

Code:

<td class="content"><?php include "$cart_isp_root/cart_content.php" ; if (preg_match('/^[\w-]+$/',$_GET['page'])) { if (file_exists("$_GET[page].php")) include "$_GET[page].php";} ?></td>

Then my Contact Us link looks like this:

Code:

<a href="<?=$SC['dyn_root']?>/contact-us.php">Contact Us</a>

The contact-us.php page is right beside the store.php in the directory. Not in another folder.

Maybe this helps.

**tims30** · November 2nd, 2008 03:16 PM

What is angels.php that you include in your contact-us.php file? Is that your renamed version of store.php? That's the only thing different I can see in your file vs. mine.

**Freejoy** · November 2nd, 2008 03:38 PM

yes

**tims30** · November 10th, 2008 03:22 PM

turned out to be a bug, which Jamie fixed.

Details here: http://www.ldev.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5471

**Jamie** · April 28th, 2009 12:42 PM

FYI - This thread has been updated for version 3.x.

**idaryl** · October 15th, 2009 11:47 PM

I was wondering what the syntax would be, if the file were in a dir of its own - that wat the root does not get to cluttered with extra php files

( $_GET[page].php )

or would it be on the end of the string store.php?=( dir path )page somehow?

**ITPDiesel** · April 4th, 2010 12:07 AM

Sorry, hate to bring up OLD stuff...but I just moved my site (SC 2.6.3) to a new webserver that is running PHP 5.3.2. This functionality appears to be the only thing that has broken with the move. The rest of the site is working fine, up to and including completio f orders through credit card processing...but my static pages are all broken.

I'm getting a 500 Internal Server Error

If I take the following out of the top of the linked file below, it works fine (though it's not displayed in the store page, just by itself):

Code:

<?php 
if (!$_GET['page']) { 
    $_GET['page']    = "documentation"; 
    $Title            = "Documentation"; 
    $Keywords        = "Documentation"; 
    $Description    = 'Documentation'; 
    include "store.php"; 
    return; 
} 
?>

http://www.itpdiesel.com/documentation.php

EVERY single one of my static pages with this code at the top fails with the same 500 error...I'm at a loss...

I ran into several deprecated functions with the upgrade to PHP 5.3+, could this have something to do with a function that has been altered or deprecated?

BTW, yes, I know my version is old. I'm working on an upgrade to 3.x but since I can't just upgrade due to the significant changes to the style system...It's taking longer than expected. I just need to "bandaid" this functionality temporarily until I get moved to 3.x.

Thanks!

**ITPDiesel** · April 5th, 2010 10:03 PM

No quick fix ideas???

**ITPDiesel** · April 6th, 2010 02:07 PM

OK, just found that the Rates and Services function from the control panel is also returning an error 500...since this is the only other thing I've found so far after this upgrade...thinking they are related. Please help!
