Using Global.php on a dynamic Non-VB Page [Archive]

Currently, I'm using this modification (Simple vB User Login (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=173693)). It works well and does great to login and logout. In fact the script works absolutely fine.

However, on my main website, I am experiencing a unique problem whereby each time I click on a dynamic link (index.php?p=whatever_page), it immediately goes to (index.php?p=faq) which is listed first in a long list of id's. I checked the code in the file where I have listed all of my id's and it seems to work correctly (and it also works correctly when I comment out the global.php file).

I was able to isolate the conflicting problem, whenever I utilize and declare my global.php at the top site, it seems to cause this minute error. I was wondering if someone could enlighten me about what is exactly conflicting. I can post full-length codes of both files, if needed. But I'm struggling with this.

Here is a snippet of my get_id file. switch($_GET['p'])
{
case faq: include ('faq.php'); break;
case staff: include ('staff.php'); break;
case affiliation: include('affiliation.php'); break;
case linktous: include('linktous.php'); break;
// Goes On For Several Lines.....
}

You should be quoting each case, since it is a string you are evaluating:

switch($_GET['p'])
{
case "faq":
// whatever
break;
case "contact":
//etc....
}

<font face="Tahoma">I changed it, to match the example you provided. However, I am having the same problem as before, it just happens to skip right to the first available case I define. Also, if I comment out the inclusion of global.php, then and only then does the switch statement work.

I'm not sure what causes this problem, but I know that the conflict occurs the moment these two are running simultaneously. Maybe if you guys could point me as to why this is occurring.</font>

Can you post the entire file?

Here is my main index.php file. The beginning part of the page is where I declare the global.php. Once I declare it, any time I click on any of my links on the site, it automatically redirects to my first defined case, in this case, faq.php.

<?php
$curdir = getcwd ();
chdir('/home1/otakunow/public_html/forums');
require_once('/home1/otakunow/public_html/forums/global.php');
chdir ($curdir);

if (isset($_GET['p'])) {
$_GET['p'] = str_replace('-', '_', $_GET['p']);
}
?>

This here is the "get_id.php" file. I use this file as a partial that is included via PHP my index.php page. I have no problems with this page when I comment out global.php, however, global.php is essentially needed so that the login-box above mentioned works correctly.

<?php

switch($_GET['p'])
{
case "faq": include ('faq.php'); break;
case "staff": include ('staff.php'); break;
case "affiliation": include('affiliation.php'); break;
case "linktous": include('linktous.php'); break;
case "mailer": include('contact/mailer.php'); break;
case "featured": include ('featured.php'); break;
case "forbidden": include('forbidden.php'); break;
case "popdod": include ('popdod.php'); break;
case "staff": include('staff.php'); break;
case "login": include('login.php'); break;
case "logout": include ('logout.php'); break;
case "qotm": include('interactive/quizzes/quiz.php'); break;
case "newsarchive": include('news/show_archives.php'); break;
case "comment_submit": include('comments/comments_process.php'); break;
}
?>

Thank you very much for coming to my aid. If you need me to, I can also post the login-box inclusion code though, from my analysis I don't think it is a problem. But if you need me to, I will provide it.

I know it's a great deal to deal with but if any hints or assistance can be made, I would greatly appreciate it.
