?action=action

[gobbles]

Hey All,

I was wondering if someone could tell me the layout of the ?action=action function.

I cant seem to get it right.

I have a form, the action of this form is ?action=action

does it go something like:

<?php

if action==action {
submitted form
} else {
default page
}
?>

Please someone shed some light on this for me.

Cheers

You should access the incoming variable with $_GET['action'], perhaps with the use of [man]isset/man.

How would i do this?

Sorry, im just learning

$action = $_GET['action'];

if ($action == "one")
{
echo "On page one";
} else {
echo "On another page: $action";
}

Theres an example.

So the default page that people would see if they just entered script.php would be the "On another page: $action" part, and when someone clicks the button and calls ?action=action it would take them to the "On page one" part?

Am i right, please tell me im right haha

Your a bit confused here:

?action=one

This is in the format of:

key=value

So, action is our key, 'one' is our value of the key 'action'.

?action=one

Would say "your on page one";
