can't get basic tutorial to work

[eluser]lucoweb[/eluser]
hey there,

I'm trying to wrap my mind around the Tutorial − Static pages but I can't get it to work.

I think it's because there's an IF statement:

Code:

if ( ! file_exists('application/views/pages/'.$page.'.php'))

that always returns TRUE because the tutorial never asked me to create a file there in the first place!

also please note that I copied the code word for word. am I missing something? any help is appreciated.


cheers,
Luciano
