Are you wanting to create links or redirect to those pages? I assume redirect, so try putting this at the VERY top of index.php

if ($_GET["p"])
{
     Header("Location: $_GET[p].php");
}

That should work for redirect. It's important that you place this at the top of the index page, before any other headers are sent to the browser (such as include() or session_start() or even basic HTML tags).

Hope this helps.

1st... i just found out what you ment by redirect...no i want it to stay like this
"index.php?p=news"

what about my I Frame?

http://mms.t35.com is my site
so you can see what i have.
if the url i type in is "index.php" it should load "home.php" in IFrame "main"
but if i type in index.php?p=news it should load news.php in IFrame "main"

<?php

// If "p" was passed via a url string...
if ($_GET["p"]) {

// Perform a switch and assign $src accordingly
    switch ($_GET["p"]) {
        case "home":
        $src = "home.php";
        break;

    case "news":
    $src = "news.php";
    break;

    case "porn":
    $src = "porn.php";
    break;

    default:
    $src = "home.php";
    break;
}

// if no "p" was passed, assign home.php as default
} else {
    $src = "home.php";
}
?>

<!-- Set your iframe source to whatever was passed -->
<iframe src="<? echo $src ?>">

This is how I would do it off the top of my head. Maybe someone else has done this before and has already found the optimum method.

Just out of curiosity, why the swtich? I would think it could be done like:

if ($_GET["p"])
{
    $src = "$_GET[p].php";
}
else
{
    $src = "home.php";
}

thankyou both! i didnt use the switch but i did use the <? echo $src ?>
thankyou very much!

I just prefer switch for personal preference. I just think it's easier for future maintenance that way. No real big difference in overhead.
