i dunno i probably didn't use the correst syntax for the get, i usually just use $p, maybe someone else can help with the correct syntax since i'm at work and don't have access to a php enabled box.

Just fixing your original code.
CODE

<?php
//You need teh parentheses '(' and ')'.
switch($_GET['p'])
{
  case "login":
      include('login.php');
      break;
  case "news":
      include('news.php');
      break;
  case "pilots":
      include('pilots.php');
      break;
  default:
      include('main.php');
}
?>


Also note that while Sloth's and Amadeus' code is simpler (and far easier to do) they also open up scripts that you may not want people to see/use. But that's just what I think. And it depends on alot of things.


Oh and before I click 'Add Reply'.
CODE

<?php
//If you'd like to check if $_GET['p'] is valid.
$page = ($_GET['p'] == ('login'||'news'||'pilots')) : $_GET['p'] ? 'main';
include($page.'.php');
?>
