How to...

[Anon]

I've made a template with 10 pages (index, contact, downloads, etc.) and I want to make the links something like this:

index.php?page=contact
index.php?page=downloads
index.php?page=about

and not the classic way:

contact.php
donwloads.php
about.php

I want to do this so noone will know in which page he's in... This requires a database, or it can be done with some coding? I'm new to php that's why my question is so foolish... :-)

One way to do this is to build your index file with a switch that includes the correct page into itself. Something like

<?

/
0=home
1=contacts
2=downloads
3=about
/

switch($page)
{
case 0 : include("home.html");
break;
case 1 : include("contacts.html");
break;
case 2 : include("downloads.html");
break;
case 3 : include("about.html");
break;
default : include("home.html");
break;
}

?>

Then your links would be <A href="index.html?page=0">home</A>

the user wont know which page they are on as all it will ever show is index.html?page=0.

Mark.

Try this in index.php:

@require "./header.php";
switch ($page) {
case "contact":
include "contact.php";
break;
case "downloads":
include "downloads.php";
break;
default:
include "default.php";
}
@require "./footer.php";

You create a header and a footer, which are always included, and then, depending on the content of $page, the page you want will be included...

ok i used this version (shadow's version) & everything's ok except one thing... When it loads the whole page the browser says that 1 item is remaining even though the page loaded completely... Why is that?
