[edit reason] no specifics please [/edit]

[DrDoc]

you need single quotes around the variable name:

$_GET['action']

no still messing up because when i click on the

main

it makes a loop but they get staked on top of eachother they dont open like a normal link would and the other ones just refesh the page

Do you know of one that will work if you do please let me know the one i made is being a pain and im over it dont feel like messing with it anymore

[jatar_k]

have you taken a look at switch [php.net]

index.php is including itself when action=main, which is causing the loop. call it main.php or index2.php or index.inc.php etc etc
