I think you have to use the $_GET function at the top of each page. I did have a code, but I am away from home at the moment so cannot access the file.
 
in example.php:

PHP: 
$page_suffix = '.htm';
$dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . 'include_pages/';
$file_path = $dir . '%s' . $page_suffix;

if (file_exists(sprintf($file_path,$_GET['page'])) && is_file(sprintf($file_path,$_GET['page']))) {
  require_once(sprintf($file_path,$_GET['page']));
} else {
  die(sprintf($file_path,$_GET['page']) . 'doesn\'t exist, sorry!');
}

I'm not sure what you're after, but that will (untested) check the query string at position page=Page (eg www.example.com/?page=Page) and check if the file Page.htm exists in the directory include_pages, if it exists, it'll include it, if not, you'll get an error.

like I said, totally untested, but that's the premise!

hmm, I never can get the hang of using that straight off the bat! :o

I thought of a better way anyway:

PHP: 
 foreach ($_GET as $param => $value) {
  printf('<param name="%s" value="%s" />',$param,$value);
 }
 
tryed chaning it to

foreach ($_GET as $param => $value) {
printf('<param name="%s" value="%s" /><br>',$param,$value);
}
but it still stayed on the same line but included <br> :P
 
change the <br> to <br /> ?

edit: unless you mean in the source?

Code: 
 printf('<param name="%s" value="%s" />%s',$param,$value,"\n");

yea im using

printf('<PARAM NAME="%s" value="%s">',$param,$value,"\n");


not creating newline in the view source :(
Click to expand...

Code: 
  printf('<PARAM NAME="%s" value="%s">%s',$param,$value,"\n");
copy that, you're missing the final %s which will inject the newline.

and as psyreen says, if you're doing this on a public scale, you might want to set up a block list, and use addslashes as well
