[Resolved] Navigating Help

[catgurl_ashley]

Okie i have sum navigation set up like this

<form action="file.php" method="POST">
<select name="category">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
</select>
</form>

so when you select 1, 2 , or 3, that value will be what category is.....

but I want to change it to sumthin more simple, just simple links

like

One
Two
Three

and when you click on them, category would equal 1, 2 or 3....
It would look like a link done with the <a href=""> tags...

I just dont know how to get it to do that :p any ideas?

pass the variable in the url. Then, read the url using if statements and load the appropriate include.

<a href="page.php?category=1">One</a>
<a href="page.php?category=2">Two</a>
<a href="page.php?category=3">Three</a>

Then to load the appropriate include

if(!$_GET['category']) {
   include("content/default.incl");
} else {
   include("content/".$_GET["category"].".incl");
}

Then create a folder called content and put the following files in it

default.incl
1.incl
2.incl
3.incl

that definitly helps, i think i can do it now

but can i just pass the urls within the HREF... or do i absolutely need the include statements ?

[cgraz]

well you pass the variables in the url. All the include statements do is read the variable and include the appropriate file, which holds the content for the variable it represents.
