website.com/index.php?page=something&something=somethingelse

[otaku]

Ok, my site is currently using the links like that (just ?page=something type), but I can't understand how to get the
?page=something&something=somethingelse to work (with the
second variable.)

Could anyone write a basic template on how to nest the php statements.

What I have so far. (note: I always use single quotes, double quotes mess up for me.)

<?
$page = $_GET["page"];

if (( $page == "home") or ( $page == "")) { echo ('
-the main stuff

');
} else if ($page == "anime") { echo('

The Anime Section</center></td></tr></table>
<table><tr><td width="20%" valign="top">
<table align="center"valign="top" width="100%"><tr>
<td width="60%" align="center" valign="top"> <center>Anime</center></td></tr></table>
<li><a href="?page=anime&anime=main">Main</a>
<li><a href="?page=anime&anime=watch">Watched</a>

</td><td width="80%">

<script language="php"> // a second php statement
$anime = $_GET["anime"];
if ($anime == "main") { echo ('
What is Anime? A question you might ask. "Anime" can be a variety of things, but most commonly it\'s a japanese cartoon (etc, etc, etc... I get a parse error at it\'s... there's a forward slash in front of the single quote, but it's not showing. It's there because the first php thing messes up if they're not slashed.)
</td></tr></table>
');
} else if ($anime == "watch") {
echo (' watched list</td></tr></table>
');
}
</script> // end of the second php statement, and the rest of
//the page continues with the old php thing. These aren't
//in the page, but I don't think they'd hurt it.
');

} else if($page == "fun") { echo('

Any basic template to use two variable addresses would be greatly appreciated. Even better if they could be with single quotes.

This is the way I usually do what you're trying. What you've got looks pretty much on the mark, so I don't really see what your problem is, but I'll show you mine anyway.

if($_GET['page'] == "anime") {

echo "All the stuff that should ALWAYS be in the anime section header goes in this bit";

if($_GET['subpage'] == "watch") {

	echo "Stuff that should be in the watch section of anime goes here";

} elseif($_GET['subpage'] == "fun") {

	echo "Stuff that should be in the fun section of anime goes here";

} else {

	/* I use an else here, so that if someone types something weird in the
	url like http://mysite.com/index.php?page=anime&subpage=imal337h4x0r it'll 
	just display the main page */

	echo "Stuff that should be in any other (including main) goes here";
}

echo "All the stuff that should ALWAYS be in the anime section footer goes in this bit";

} else {

/* We use an else instead of an elseif($page == "main") here like above for the 
aforementioned reasons */

echo "Your main page header stuff here";

}

Hope that helps,
Matt

Gonna have to change my code around, but that one seems to work pretty good. Thanks (Maybe my stuff was just badly placed or something? Thanks again) 😃
