yes,

this part is bull:


$content=if($auth[error]) { include("include/index.inc.php"); }
else { include("include/index.log.php"); }


should be

if($auth[error]) { include("include/index.inc.php"); }
else { include("include/index.log.php"); }


if you want to store the included file in a variable, use output buffering

what do you mean by output buffering... i take it that thats wat till make it so the page appears in the body ??

read the manual, http://nl3.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php,

if you include a file it's included, ran as if it was inline with the code. so no need to put in in a var an then output that var or whatever.

output buffering is needed when you dó want to store the included stuff in a var for maybe later outputting. but i don't think you want to do that.

here's something about output buffering:

yes i dont think i need that... that the problem im haveing now is that i have used

if (file_exists($content)) {
include($content);
} else {?>

in the body to display the content and before i changed the script i used
$content="include/index.inc.php";
so that the index file would display in the content bit in body


so how would i add $content= to

if($auth[error]) { include("include/index.inc.php"); }
else { include("include/index.log.php"); }

wasnt completely right above, sorry, it's almost weekend ;)


if ($auth[error])
{
$content = include('./include/index.inc.php');
}
else
{
$content = include('./include/index.log.php');
}

OR

$content = $auth[error] ? include('./include/index.inc.php') : include('./include/index.log.php');

OR

$includeFile = $auth[error] ? 'index.inc.php' : 'index.log.php';
$content = include('./include' . $includeFile);


or something :P
