    Script help

    I'm trying to run the following php code.

    PHP Code:
    <?php 

    switch($nav) 
    { 
    case     "about"
    include ("about.txt");
    break;

    case     "forums"
    include ("forums.txt");
    break;

    case     "contact"
    include ("contact.php");
    break;

    case     "staff"
    include ("staff.txt");
    break;

    case     "links"
    include ("links.txt");
    break;

    case     "downloads": 
    include (    "downloads.txt"); 
    break; 

    case     "projects":
    include (    "projects.txt");
    break;

    default: 
    include (    "news.txt"); 
    } 

    ?>

    But I keep getting this error whenever I excute it
    Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_INCLUDE in /home/surrix/public_html/test.php on line 41

    The code is supposed to be switching out the content that appares in one of the tables when a link is click on and the links would look something like this www.surrix.net/index.php?nav=forums or whatever but I can't get it to work what is wrong with it?

      Very odd, since there are only 37 lines of code.

          Oh I just posted the script I didn't post the html parts of the page. The line that it is complaining about is the frist Include() like

              It looks like you are missing some colons here:
              PHP Code:
              case "about"
              include ("about.txt");
              break;

              case               "forums"
              include ("forums.txt");
              break;

              case               "contact"
              include ("contact.php");
              break;

              case               "staff"
              include ("staff.txt");
              break;

              case               "links"
              include ("links.txt");
              break;

                  I don't think I'm missing anything btw the thing in that box is the same as my code above.

                              I know, that was the point. Isn't it supposed to be like
                              PHP Code:
                              case 'asdf':
                              do_something();
                              break; 
                              ?

                                              and u shud always use single quotes, as they rnt parsed and increase speed

                                              you dont need any quotes in the switch function, but its good practice to use them.
