PHP Database help

Anon

Hey, I was wondering...I have a two php files, main.php and main2.php in main.php I want to link main2.php and in the browser I want it to look like this "http://www.joesplace.com/?page=main2

How would I go about doing this? any help would be awesome.

Oh, and how would I like it? Instead of <a href="main2.php"> ?

One way that I know of is to make the main page use frames. Meaning... have something like MAIN.html include all the frames needed in it... such as main.php and main2.php

And when someone tries to view your page it will still be "www.xxx.com"

was that any help...?

Nope 🙁

What I meant was making a database so instead of using "<a href="main.php"> you could use <a href="?page=main"> I just need to know how...thanks anyways though.

Anyone else know?

Use includes
If link is <a href="?page=xyz">xyz</a>

<? include "$page"; ?> will load XYZ into th epage.

Rename main.php to index.php so it is called when someone goes to www.joesplace.com

Your code in index.php now checks for existence of the page variable and loads a default main1.php if missing. Otherwise it loads a main#.php file based on page name.

if (!$page) {
include "main1.php";
} else {
include "main$page.php";
}

Pretty simple, hope this is in line with what you were asking, I wasn't following the problem 100%.
