i searched the forums but I couldnt really find an accurate account of how to do loops in PHP, what I am trying to do is write a forum.. and I figure that I just do $post = $post +1 every time someone posts and it saves it as post1.php, post2.php or whatever, but then again I look at this forum and it's doing a "posts.php3?num=2" type thing, so how would I do this?
