something like index.php?id=1

[jdnet]

i would really like to know how to have say, index.php and only the text change according to the ?id= or whatever afterwards, could someone please direct me to a site that would tell me how to do this...? or send me a example of a site like this...?

thats an older one.. but i just searched for "id navigation"

the links inside should give you better direction

Do you mean to have the address bar say something like www.yourdomain.com/index.php?id=X where X refers to a link that was clicked on by a user?

If so that's a simple switch statement... search the forums for examples either under "select case" or "switch case"

Easy stuff 😉

Usually when you see something like this, it means that you are including another file based on what $id is equal to.

Let's say you have 3 files: index.php, hello.php & goodbye.php:

index.php says:

     if (file_exists("$id.php")) {
         include "$id.php";
     }

  else {
     print "Page Not Found";
  }

Then if you go to http://www.whatever.com/index.php?id=hello, it will include whatever is in hello.php into index.php. And if you go to http://www.whatever.com/index.php?id=goodbye, it will include whatever is in goodbye.php and so on...

Hope that helped!
