Also the line:

  case "$config[HTTP_SERVER]help.php" :

probably won't work very well : should be either

  case $config[HTTP_SERVER].'help.php':

or

  case "{$config[HTTP_SERVER]}help.php":

according to whether you like interpolation in quotes or not.


I recommend finding a development environment or editor that does syntax
highlighting - that would catch all of these problems before you even save the file.
