Ok so on this topic, I do something similar to this with my scripts, and if
my includes are vulnerable... I need to know how?

I have tested this and the includes parse the information as it includes it,
I can't see the code, so how is this possible where you say:

        {
"If someone were to stumble upon your list.php script they would be able to
see your php code."
        }

I have tested this pulling it from the server without parsing the file, I
only saw the html source with the include directory in it.  Even if someone
was to get ahold of that the only variable is a "get" variable correct,
what's the difference from them having this information there or typing it
into a Web browser?  And if they did try anything with that variable, I have
the script checking for valid input. Am I not safe in doing this?

Maybe I'm being nieve here, but I thought I had covered most of my bases
with this. Please explain where the security hole is!  Anyone?....I'm still
learning and need to know the ins and outs of security for what I am
scripting.

Sorry for all the questions, but I'm truely concerned now....I'd like to
know if I have to find alternative solutions to my include issues.

TIA
Wolf

Careful with that.  If someone were to stumble upon your list.php script
they would be able to see your php code.  You would probably be better
off having a local copy of that file.
