Er, not really; what's the problem you're having, what's the code you're having it with, if it's not doing the right thing what's it doing instead, what have you tried so far and what were the results?

in a baisc way i did this

on main.php theres a table with 2 rows

i put $pgtitle for row one
and i put $pginfo for row two

i want those variables to be able to get info from another page when a link is clicked and put the info where the veriables are, and when you another link it changes to the new info, etc....so i dont have to make a table for every page.

i cant figuer out how to do it, i know i have to do something like

include" $pgtitle" on the main.php page for row one
but how do i get it to find the other page

my links are set up with the index.php?id=1 if that helps any.

Whatever variables need to be changed, put in a seperate file named something like variables.php
In that file, test to see if they're set, set defaults, do what you need to do.

$tabletitle=" Welcome to ";
if(isset($pagetitle)) {
   $tabletitle .= $pagetitle;
}
else {
   $tabletitle .= "the website";
   // this is your default
}

Then on each page where you need these, set the variables before including the file. Like on page5.php, you want it to say "Welcome to Page 5", so...

$pagetitle = "Page 5";
include "variables.php";
