One last question. I need to be able to display a certain image based on the query tag that is already being used.
So for example: main.php3?id=help
this pulls the help include file that I have setup but I would like for it to change an image inside the main.php3 page to help.gif. If they goto main.php3?id=contact than I would like that image to be contact.gif.
Maybe this will help for you guys that know asp. This is the logic I use in asp to do the same thing.
<%
select case ucase(Request.querystring("page"))
case "HELP" %>
<A class="bread" href="main.asp">main</A> :: </B>
HELP
<% case "CONTACT" %>
<A class="bread" href="main.asp">main</A> :: </B>
contact
<% case else %>
</B>main
<% end select %>
thx guys, this forum has been a life saver for my conversion over.
