parameters ?name=value

[Anon]

I'm just getting into PHP, and I guess this might be be quite a simple problem.
If a call a .php page with a parameter like ?number=5, there is no variable $number created.
I'm Using Windows 2000 and IIS, so the problem might be caused by a misconfiguration in IIS.

Thx,

I'm trying this with the include() function, but no luck yet.
What I want to do is:

I've got 2 variables:

$page1="page1.php";
$page2="page2.php";

No i want in my url: index.php?page=page2

So that the variable page would be page2.php in my include function.

In that way I would only have to make 1 html file where i insert new files.

if you have page.php?page=page2,
the array variable $HTTP_GET_VARS["page"] will return 'page2'

Likewise, with the URL "page.php?number=5",
$HTTP_GET_VARS["number"] will return '5'

HTH,
