php noob problem - require_once

[donnie]

Hi, im doing a simple site and im pretty much total noob in PHP, just learning it so sorry

<div class="next">
<?php @ require_once ("next.html"); ?>
</div>
<div class="navi">
<?php @ require_once ("navi.php"); ?>
</div>

<div class="cont">
<?php @ require_once ('./$page.html'); ?>
</div>

So thats the code and what i want to do is that the menu (where all the links are) are in navi.php file. And when you click one of those links the page opens in "cont" box. But for some reason that doesnt work. Where's the problem. Im not sure but should i have somewhere something like $_GET

thanks,
donnie

Here's the manual -

It doesn't seem like you've learned enough php to accomplish this. Try studying a tutorial on generating $_GET variables. I don't know what @require_once ('./$page.html') is supposed to accomplish.
