Need some help with PHP

I'm making some kinda personal page with PHP, and there's one thing I don't know how to do. It should be really simple, but I just can't figure out how to do it..

The thing is, I use include("$view.php"); => nek.php?view=whatever, and if someone goes to mypage/whatever.php, I want it to forward/redirect the visitor to mypage/nek.php?view=whatever.

I tried it with javascript (if (top.location.href != nek.php?view=test ) top.location.href = nek.php?view=test). It didn't work tho, it kept refreshing the page over and over again. But it almost worked So it could be done in a quite similar way I guess.

Anyone with ideas on how to make this work with either PHP or javascript?

I dont think it is possible to run a Javascript in a php script, i maybe wrong i know i had problems when i used js with php, i would look at php dev sites and on google too.

in whatever.php, assuming theres no ouput b4..

code:
$fname = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
$view  = substr($fname,0,strpos($fname,"."));
header("Location: mypage/nek.php?view=$view");

Not sure of the PHP implementation (I'm a ColdFusion programmer myself)... but can you have a page that extracts the URL paramater (in this case "view"), and then $include(URL Paramater) dynamically... You shouldn't even need to worry about javascript.

Maybe not, I don't know. I've tried to search, but the problem is I don't really know what to search for..

Inside I assume? What else, I tried it but it didn't work..

Did I mention I'm quite new to PHP, I only know some very simple stuff? In other words, I have no idea how that would work..

Yes inside .

I tested having test.php as:

code:

it redirects to /index.php as:
/index.php?view=test

do you get an error message?

That actually works I tested it, but I used $p instead of $view on another page, so I just forgot to change $view to $p. But yes it works. Thanx alot
