I don't believe this is coded right or something. Help needed... Take a look at the page and then I have the code below...
http://xero-infinity.com/php/test.php

#!/usr/local/bin/php
<html><head><title>PHP Test</title></head>
<body>
<?php
if ($sect) {
include("$sect.txt");
}
else {
include("home.txt");
}
?><br>
<?php
if ($sect) {
include("$sect.txt");
}
else {
include("test.txt");
}
?><br>
<?php
if ($sect) {
include("$sect.txt");
}
else {
include("test2.txt");
}
?><br>
<?php
if ($sect) {
include("$sect.txt");
}
else {
include("test3.txt");
}
?><br>
<?php
if ($sect) {
include("$sect.txt");
}
else {
include("test4.txt");
}
?><p>
<a href="?sect=home">Home</a><br>
<a href="?sect=test">Test</a><br>
<a href="?sect=test2">Test2</a><br>
<a href="?sect=test3">Test3</a><br>
<a href="?sect=test4">Test4</a>
</body></html>

All of them show. I just want one of them to show at a time.

I'm no PHP expert, but you might wish to set $sect to equal something like :

if ($sect != "") {
include("$sect.txt");

Hope this helps!

Nah, did the same thing.

You might need to have it somehow read in the sect and place it in $sect and than have it redirect to the right file.

the sect.txt you mean? er... man, I don't understand what your sayin.

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do... But all that code you have there could be compressed into the following without changing anything...

if ($sect) {
include("$sect.txt");
} else {
include("home.txt");
include("test.txt");
include("test2.txt");
include("test3.txt");
include("test4.txt");
}
?>

If you are trying to include the file with the name $sect.txt, then one of these if-else statements should be plenty, as shown above. I'm not exactly sure what you want to display if there is no value for $sect, but from your example I assume it is to include all 5 files.

Perhaps you can clarify exactly what you are trying to accomplish here...
