Stupid Question??

Dankdogg

Alright... I know my question is stupid, but I can not get it to work for me. How do I set up a code to allow me to display different info from one file. Like this...

index.php?WHATEVER=&THIS

I can not get this to work? Is there a tutorial or something to explain this to me better?

Your going to have to be a little more specific. What is your file structure like? What exactly are you trying to access? Can you post your existing code?

Alright, well to make things a lil easier for you. I dont have a MySQL because my host wont let it be set up. So, I have a page almost the same as HTML, just plain HTML. I have a page full of pics. I want to access the page from 1 main page. But also be able to seperate it into 3 different pages only showing certain files. Is this possible?

Do you mean something like:

http://www.domain.com/main.php?file=news

main.php:

<html>
<body>
<?php

if( empty($GET['file']) ) $file = "welcome";
else $file = $GET['file'];

include_once($file . ".php");

?>
</body>
</html>

Ok, what you told me helped. Here, did I set this up right?

if( empty($GET['file']) )
$file = "FILE1";
$file = "FILE2";
$file = "FILE3";
else $file = $GET['file'];
include_once($file . ".php");

If so, then I wanna know how to I put a page up when you just go to the main.php not main.php?file=FILE1 . Also, how would I be able to have what is in FILE1, FILE2, FILE3 just be inside of one php file? Or is that not possible?

I am really new to this PHP, I know HTML as good as anyone! But I really wanna learn this PHP and its confusing as hell not have a book or anything to learn it from. Thanks for the help.
