php? linlks

[abda53]

not sure on how to do this.. ive tried researching it, and having found anything..

how do i (if its possible) to make a link like... index.php?something or index.php?page=1 something to that effect. im not sure if that or something similar can be done. im remaking my page right now and i have a lot of links in my page.. something like this would make things a lot easier.. any help would be great. thanks

<?php

if($_GET['page'] == "mail")
{
   include("contact.htm");
}

?>

The way I do it is with a switch:

<?php

switch($id)
{
 default: // makes this the default switch
 case index: //if $id = index
 {
  //(index stuff here)
 }

 case stuff: // if $id = stuff
 {
  //(stuff's stuff here)
 }

 case foo:
 {
  //(foo's stuff here)
 }

}
?>

When you point your browser to the PHP file, let's say index.php, it'll load up case index. Any other value besides the defined ones point to the default case, which is index. If you had index.php?id=foo, it'll point to foo, if it were stuff, it'll point to stuff. You can put this practically anywhere in your file. I usually put it in a table where the content loads.
