A whole bag 'o questions :D

I've got a bunch of questions for u guys (and gals??)

How do you set up variables in the URL?

E.g. : what is my URL if I want the URL to tell php that $category="general" and $title="introduction" ??

What does Include do: does it run a seperate php script at that point or what?

So if test.php contains

echo "w00h00";

/?>

include test.php would show

w00h00

on the spot where I tell the program to include?

And If the included php is a search engine, can I still use that search engine on that moment?

is it possible to query for tables? Like I want to query only the tables starting with a "g" , I don't need to read the tables themselves, just the names of the tables?

thnkx for the info

"How do you set up variables in the URL? "

http://www.mysite.com/page.php?category=general

then you would do something like

$category = $_GET['category'];

to get the value

"What does Include do: does it run a seperate php script at that point or what?"

yes basically, it adds the code in from the file where u call it

"And If the included php is a search engine, can I still use that search engine on that moment?"

yes should be

Sorry im not sure about your last question ill look it up tho

The way to query for table onyl starting with G is to use regular expressions and look at the first letter of the table name and
if ($startletter = g)
do whatever
else
exit;
I dotn know why you would only want tables starting with g only, but hey... anways.. I suggest you read up on regular expression and start with the easy stuff first.

I know, I tend to jump into the harder stuff a bit too early . And I didn't need the query for tables, I was just wondering if it's possible :p (hope ya don't mind me asking 🙂 )
