Now what is that? Please learn to code, and then code... That's always
SOME good advice...

<?php

if (empty ($area) ) {

$area = 'index';

}
?>

BTW, why do you an if statement as there is no other code that can
possibly change your $area?

Sebastian

That's quite normal as you didn't escape you double-quotes.

Try this instead:

<?php

if (empty ($area) ) {

$area = 'index';

}

echo '<iframe src="content/'.$area.'_content.html" name="index"
width="799" height="425" alt="" frameborder="0"></iframe>';

?>

That should do it.

HTH,
Best regards,
Sebastian
