php + href redirection

I have next code in my home.php file:

<html>    
    <body>
    <table border="3">
        <tr><td>
            <a href="?page=my_page_1">Page 1</a>
        </td></tr>

        <tr><td>
            <a href="?page=my_page_2">Page 2</a>
        </td></tr>

    </table>

    <?php
        if(isset($_GET['page'])){
            $page = $_GET['page'];
            $filename = $page.'.php';

            if(file_exists($filename)){
                include($filename);
            }
            else{
                echo("File does not exist");
            }
        }
        else{
            echo("Page does not set");
        }
    ?>
    </body>    
</html>

I'am expecting to page being reloaded as a certain .php file when one of the links is getting pressed. But, by some reason, nothing happens instead. Files "my_page_1.php" and "my_page_2.php" does exist and are located in the same folder with "home.php". I guess it doesn't work as I think it should, so could someone explain me what is really happening when links are getting pressed?

Solution

  • Seems like php would be executed only on and by the server and not as a simple script by your browser.
