soemthing.php?something

Hi. Im assuming you know that PHP scripts can have URLs like http://something.com/something.php?something.

I want to do something like that. site.php?index would show the HTML for the index page, site.php?news would show news, and so on. How would I set this up in PHP? Thanx

Well, the information after the ? is a variable and it's value ( ie-http://yourdomain.com?name=justin ) so you would have a script like:

<?

// site.php

include( $page );

?>

Then have files for each of the pages that will be called from site.php with the code in them.

HTH,
Justin

What I'm planning to do is use site.php as a template file and the actual page data would be included from a text file. So when the user goes to site.php?site=index, the template on site.php would be shown and it would include index.txt. When the user goes to site.php?site=news, it would show the template in site.php and include news.txt instead of index.txt. Show what would be an example script to do this? Thanx for your help
