Along time ago, before i started doing my site in mysql, I used a php script to bring my pages into the main page. forexample, for the link to my home page i would put "main.php?content=home". Im trying to find the code I need to put in the main page for all this to work, i have looked all over the net, but i dont know the name of it, there is alot of things out ther. dose anyone know the file im looking for. sorry if the question isnt clear, i sometimes have trouble with that 😃

basically you want main.php to be a template and all the page content to be stored in other files minus the header and footer corect?

Well that isn't hard at all

//static header
<?php
//default content to the home page
if($_GET['content'] == '') {$_GET['content'] = 'home';}
$content = strtolower$_GET['content'];

//path to templates
$tmp_dir = 'templates/';

//different pages
$templates['home'] = 'main_page.asp';
$templates['about'] = 'about_us.asp';
//etc.

//if the specified page is defined in templates then
//include it
if(in_array($content,array_keys($templates))) {
    include($tmp_dir . $templates[$content]);
//if the specified page is not defined in templates then
//trow a 404 error.
} else {
    include($tmp_dir . "404.php");
} //end if
?>
//the footer code for your site

Yea, thats kewl, but it wont work, it says "Parse error: parse error in /home/virtual/site63/fst/var/www/html/wp site/main.php on line 40"

and this is line 40 "$content = strotlower$_GET['content']; "
