[hugo04]

1. can't call variable inside include
2. for your work, I suggest you do

if (index){
$themedir = '/theme/default';
}else{
$themedir = ' '/theme/default2';
}

load $themedir

1. can't call variable inside include

Wrong, you can use variables inside a include statement

----------------------------

include ('$themedir; /index.php'); 

Why is there a ; in the code and to use variables you need to use double quotes (")

include ("$themedir/index.php"); 

Also, the themedir variable:

$themedir = '/theme/default'; 

Whats the path from the script you are using?
use realpath() to check whether you are on the right directory or not

soft2050 is right. just another note, if you get problems about the path, use

include (getcwd() . "/$themedir/index.php");
