html variable to php redirect into frame

[truegenius]

so ive been put in charge of fixing our website (www.creativeprinter.com, if you have sound on your computer you may want to mute, our commercial loads automatically, and its way too loud), I know its an abomination to all web designers, thats why i'm trying to fix it. i cant change the way it is, but can change the way the other pages load. what i have is a main page 'index.html' that has several buttons that open several pages, but all these pages are almost exactly the same so i was going to put them into a frame so it would load fast and look more professional. So now i have a main2.html that has three frames (top has our logo and info) (left has same buttons) and (right is mainwindow). When i click on a link from the main page (index.html) i need that link to have a variable attached to it that goes through a php file and loads the appropriate html file in the right mainframe window of main2.html. I have been searching around for a while but i havent found a thread with this exact problem. I know what i need it to do i'm just not very familiar with php yet. Hope someone might be able to help. Thanks

You can construct query strings in your code, either statically in HTML or using PHP to create the HTML dynamically. You can make your links like

controller.php?page=about

You can then access the page variable using the $GET superglobal in PHP and pull in the right HTML page based on its value.
Make sure you full validate the value coming from the $GET array as otherwise you could introduce a massive security risk.
