hello

id like to be able to include a file so i can use one page for my site

ie "default.asp?page=home"

and then i want to include the file that stores the "home" content in

but i oviously cant use <!--#include file="<%=page%>"-->

but when i tried the "server.request( page )" it didnt process the ASP in it

is there a way i can do this without having to do

if page = "home" then

    <!--#include file="home.inc"-->

end if

if page = "about" then

    <!--#include file="about.inc"-->

end if

?????

(PS i dont think "server.request()" is right, becose i cant remember wot it is, but i did use the right code, becose i copied it straight from a post MadDog made )

yeah i think it was "Server.Execute" wot i acctually used...

that cant process the ASP in the include though can it?

well say i have a page called

"usercheck.asp"

and its like

-----------------------

<%

if userlevel = "1 then
   sumfin = "this"
else
   sumfin = "that"
end if

%>

-----------------------

then i have another that does

<% server.execute("usercheck.asp") %>

will it process the ASP from the "usercheck.asp"

cose am sure i got errors when i did it?

BTW, i'll need to use the FileSystem Object, and access databases with the included files

i need the "asp" include and not SSI becose i wanna be able to choose wot to include like

<%
     page = "default.asp"

     Server.Execute( page )
%>

just do the if..then...else statements with the includes...

i mean you have already wasted a few days trying to do "sumfin" you don't understand....

just use what works

yeah but am tryna find an easyer way of doing wot am tryna do

am currenly usin the

"case" thing

but am thinkin this will be easyer to have, if i wanna add pages

(PS leave my "slang" alone, i listen to rap!)

*edit*

ooh, btw, do you have to have that kinda attitude?

you've had ago at me b4, for ma slang.... mate, this is the internet, slang is all ova the place

and as for me "wasting" 3 days.....
like i said, am only tryna find a better way of doing this!

so how have i wasted 3 days?

if anyfin i wasted time, readin your post!

and i know this is a "ASP Discussion" but if ya read the posts, its mostly people askin for help with there ASP Scripts, and people "helping" others wit there problems, so wanna try an help next time? cose i dont think ya post was much help

and back ta tha slang... wots wrong with me usin slang, do you tell people with poor english to talk better?

just cose you know alot of ASP dont mean we all do, sum of us are tryna learn, like you did one day, so give us a break

(PS yeah i know ya aint allowed to "Flame" but come on! do i gotta take this?)

Server.Execute will execute the ASP code on usercheck.asp but it won't be able to interact with the code on the page you're calling it from...

you can include the same asp file in the same page using server.execute as many times as you want with the same variables and it won't interfere with each other...

so server.execute won't do what you're trying to do cuz you can't use the variables from the included file in the file where you called it from  ...basicaly with server.execute it'll look like the included file is on the same page but really is running on a different background as if it where on another window......
