Dave:

Ah, well instead of looking for the page name, just go by the $_GET variable:

Replace the following:

$path = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; $page = basename($path); $page = basename($path, '.php');

With this:

$page = $_GET['id'];

Your HTML output will remain the same, we’re just changing where we check for the page name, so instead of the actual filename (less extension), we just use the ID variable.

Hope that helps.
