please help me out...

hello everyone. what happens at my site is that I use a main.php file wich includes "$id.php", so all I have to do to show a page is (example: main.php?id=fan_art/index)

so now I want to have multiple pages to show screenshots by using a switch statement. but I can't use the URL way to put a variable value since the main.php file adds .php to the end of the url. therefore if I would do something like so: main.php?id=images?page=2

it would come up like this: main.php?id=images?page=2.php

so then I tryed making a function that makes $p (the page number) say....2

this is the function I include in the head of my webpage:

<?php
function p($page)
{
$p = $page;
}
?>

and this is what I use to change pages (the links)

<?php

echo "<a href=\"main.php?id=games/final_fantasy_x/images\">1</a>";
echo "-";
echo "<a href=\"#\" onClick=p(2)>2</a>";

?>

for some reason, it acts as if the function did'nt work. to see the "script" in work, click here

thanx a lot for any help

You should read up on client side and server side programming...you CANNOT mix them both, e.g. you cannot mix JavaScript events with PHP.

One way to do what you're trying to do is to check if the URL already contains a "?". If it does, then append using a "&" in betwee, e.g.

$url = $url . "&p=" . $p;

But if it doesn't contain "?", then append using "?":

$url = $url . "?p=" . $p;

HTH,

what do you mean by

$url = $url . "?p=" . $p;

???

could you please explain it using examples from the code I provided you with?

thanx

Well, I can't use your code, coz it's wrong...but you said you wanted this:
main.php?id=images&page=2
instead of
main.php?id=images?page=2

My $url variable has main.php?id=images, for example. So if it has a "?", you append using "&page=", to get
main.php?id=images&page=2
. If it doesn't contain a "?", like main.php, you append using "?" to get:
main.php?page=2
