I am trying to create my own news system and to start with I'm using
static news pages until I get the db working properly.
I'm using the following code:

<?php 
if(!isset($_GET['id'])) 
{       $article="$id.php"
                if (file_exists($article)) { include $article; } 
                else    { echo "The article you've requested does not exist!"; }
}
        else { echo "You did not select an article"; } 
?>

I am testing using the following links...

www.myurl.co.uk/index.php
www.myurl.co.uk/index.php?id=1
www.myurl.co.uk/index.php?id=2

When I try the first one, I'd expect it to say you did not select an
article, but it says


Notice: Undefined variable: id in
/home/5217/tomchubb/public_html/index.php on line 15
The article you've requested does not exist 
 

When I try the third link, I would expect it to say  The article
you've requested does not exist! but it says:

Parse error: parse error in /home/5217/tomchubb/public_html/index.php on line 16

Lines 15 & 16 are:
if (file_exists($article)) { include $article; } 
else    { echo "The article you've requested does not exist!"; }

I don't understand why this isn't working and I've tried looking into
this for 2 hours!
Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong please?

Thanks,

Tom
