Help Me! Php Newb Working On Huge Deadline!

[def]

Okay, so I may be in a little bit of a panic right now, but here's my problem. I'm building a site for a large client and the deadline is in two days. I'm not a big PHP expert, but I created the site in PHP to make things a little bit easier. I built it all on my Apache server with the latest version of PHP, and I kept showing them updates and everything, but then it came down to uploading it to their server today, I realized they were on an IIS server, and my code wasn't working properly.

I built the content pages into separate pages, and I had a footer and header to wrap around them. Then I used the below code to include the page based on what variable was passed through the URL.

<? virtual ("$page.php");?>

The links looked like this main.php?page=resort

But, the virtual function does not work at all with IIS. I tried using 'include' instead, but that doesn't allow me to use a variable like $page.php in it, so I can't just use main.php?page=resort to view pages.

What can I possibly do to get around this? ANYONE PLEASE HELP!? I'm sleep deprived and worrying like a crazy man!!

include($_GET['page'].'.php');

Build a redirect page that accepts the data from the URL via $_GET['page'] and just runs a header function to move the browser to the new page

<?
$page ='';

//default listing of pages in site to check input and handle attempts to break things 
//by messing with the URL
$pages = array('resort','contact','about'...);  

(isset($_GET['page']))? $page = $_GET['page'] : $page = "default.php";
if (in_array($page, $pages){
  //send to the requested page
  header("location:$page.php");
}else{
   header("location:default.php");
}//end if
 
?>

The default.php can be some error handling page where users get sent if they screw things up or change the url

Wow, thanks guys! That was quick too. I really appreciate the help, even though I'm sure its a pretty trivial problem for you guys to answer.

I'm definitely coming back to this forum more often. I regret not reading it more since I first registered for this account a few years ago.
