url variables

[incarnate]

how do people use variables to change things when they don't assign a value to it (ex. www.site.com/index.php?go). I've seen it on a few sites and was wondering how.

The example you gave would give you:

$_GET['go'] = ""

So, in this case, you wouldn't necessarily check for a value, but rather, just check to make sure the index is set...

So, you'd do something like:

if(isset($_GET['go'])){
// Do something if the index exists (This occurs regardless of the value of the $_GET['go'] variable)
} else {
// Do something else if the index doesn't exist
}

One way of doing it is through a form, just set the variable as a hidden field and use a post button.

Example on the page its going too it would have something like this at the top.

// If Theres No Url String Use The Form One.
if (!$_GET['go']) { $go=$_POST['go']; }
