Hello All, How do you do a script that has lots of pages in it but you put in the address bar
http://blah.com/page.php?page=news For news page
http://blah.com/page.php?page=chat For chat page

Ect...

Thanks, Alan 😃

in the url, those are variables. The variables represent which page should be loaded. So in your script, you read the variable in the url and load the appropriate include.

Thanks for your help but that don't mean much to me, can I have a quick demo or a link where I can get some more info.

Thx

yeah

index.php?page=about
index.php?page=contact

to load those pages

if(!$_GET['page']) { // if there is no value for the page variable
   include("incl_path/home.incl"); // home.incl being the default you want to be loaded
} else {
   include("incl/path/".$_GET["page"].".incl"); // the variable.incl
}

Simple enough. If there is no value, load the default. If it has a value, load that page. So if your url read

index.php?page=about

it would load about.incl from the incl_path folder.
