Hi,

Is there a way that I can display certain text within an asp file dependant on the url? This is what I am trying to do:

In default.asp, if the url is default.asp?VariableHere, then the body of default.asp contains an include calling "VariableHere.inc" (replace VariableHere with the name of the include)

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jonathen

Hi,

You can not have variable in the name of include file.
Because inc files are loaded before asp starts execution. So, no asp variables are available at that time.

You can do instead...

if request.querystring("VariableHere.inc" ) = x then
include x.inc
else
include y.inc
end if

Hi,

Thanks for your input - I used a case instead:

Code:

Code:
<% Dim whichpage 
whichpage = Request.QueryString("page") 
Select Case whichpage 
Case "default" %> 
<!-- #include file="default.asp" --> 
<% Case "main" %> 
<!-- #include file="main.asp" --> 
<% Case "admin" %> 
<!-- #include file="admin.asp" --> 
<% Case Else %> 
<!-- #include file="default.asp" --> 
<%End Select%>

...and so on. However, I still have one problem - if the page called is default.asp?page=main, for example, then the correct content from the corresponding "main.asp" is displayed. This is great, but if I just call the page by it's root - default.asp - then no content is displayed, obviously because I have not told it to display some data. However, i cannot seem to get an elseif statement to display some default text if the url is NOT default.asp?page=whatever.

Ignore that last message - I realised (doh!) I can use the if else statement alongside my case. Thanks for all your help.
