Something like this..?

<?php
/*
	Filename: link.php
	Note: this wil only work on local files, surely..
	Usage: http://www.website.con/link?location=1
*/

$defaultpage = "bikinibottom.php";
$page[1] = "patrick.php";
$page[2] = "mrkrabs.php";
$page[3] = "spongebob.php";
$page[4] = "squid.php";
#$page[5] ..etc

if(isset($page[$_GET['location']]) and file_exists($page[$_GET['location']])) include($page[$_GET['location']]);
elseif($defaultpage) include($defaultpage);


exit;
#thank you for using seame
?>

The links can be what ever extention you want to use. $page[1], $page[2],etc... just hold a text string. When using include(), the files can be of any extention.

Your links would look like:

link.php?location=1 , which would reference patrick.php (or what ever file)

link.php?location=2 , which would reference mrkrabs.php (or what ever file)

etc.............

if(isset($page[$GET['location']]) and file_exists($page[$GET['location']])) include($page[$_GET['location']]);
elseif($defaultpage) include($defaultpage);

should be

if(isset($page[$_GET['location']]) && file_exsists($page[$_GET['location']]) 
{
     include($page[$_GET['location']]) ;
}
else
{
     include($defaultpage);
}

Make sure when you are calling link.php, that it has the php ext. Your links dont.

http://www.website.com/link_system/link.php?location=1

As for the include, the links would be relative to the site root.

as far as I know, include doesnt allow full urls. So what you did is probably the best way. Im still learning php too, so sorry if I make it harder than it really is.

You can only include local files.
To link to external files use something like:

$html = implode (file ('http://www.example.com/file.html')); 
echo $html;

If you can't access the file or get an error message, try if you can access the file directly.. (maybe you set some wrong restriction with chmod).

good luck,

Ig you want to use a MySQL database, here is an example of code you can use... the end rersult is:
www.page.php/index?page=advertise

This would require making a database and adding your info into phpmyadmin... so you may want to look into the other replies 1st...

<?php
// Connect to the database
$db = mysql_connect("localhost","username","database_pw");
mysql_select_db (database_name);
// Ask the database for the information from the squadlinks table
$sql = "SELECT * FROM page WHERE page='{$_REQUEST['page']}'";
if (!$result = mysql_query($sql)) {
    print "Invalid query ($sql) : " . mysql_error();
    exit;
}
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {

print "{$row['title']}.<br><br>
<font size= '2' face= 'verdana' color= '#000000'>{$row['page_content']}<br>
</table>";
} 

?>

You see, in this code the php takes out the specific row when you click on, lets say index.php?page=advertising ... as in your mysql database, the page row has different page titles... like advertising, contact etc... index.php?page=$whatever, calls the specific page from the database and will display it for you.

I duno if thats what your looking for exactly... but many months ago I asked the same question on these forums... Hope I could help a little bit.

Note: file_exsists() only works on local files so:

<?php
#instead of numbers you could also use text
$page[1] = "http://www.logisticdesigns.biz/index.html"; 
$page['rotation'] = "http://www.logisticdesigns.biz/advertise/rotation.html"; 

#use @ to not show a error if file does not exist
$data = @implode (file ($page[$_GET['location']]));  

if (!$data){
	#something like:
	exit("404: page does not exist");
} 
else 
{ 
echo $data;
} 

?>

Hi,

You could replace:
exit("Error: Invalid Link, Return To Previous Page");

with:
echo implode (file ("http://www.logisticdesigns.biz/error.html"));

And include some javascript in the 'error.html'. I think something like this should work:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
setTimeout("location.href='history.go(-1)'",5000);
</script>

the error is probably because the script assumed the file to be longer than one line. This script should work.

<a href='link?location=index'>test</a>

<?php  

$page['index'] = "http://www.logisticdesigns.biz/index.html";  

$page['rotation'] = "http://www.logisticdesigns.biz/advertise/rotation.html";  

$page['whatever'] = "http://www.logisticdesigns.biz/whatever/file.html";  

$data = @file ($page[$_GET['location']]);

if (!$data){  

$data = @file ("http://www.logisticdesigns.biz/error.html"); 
}  

if (is_array($data)) $data = @implode ($data); 

echo $data;
?>
