newbie question (pages like this: *.php?do=something)

ungovernable

I was wondering how peoples make scripts where you can show different things depending on the URL, but in the same PHP page

exemple.php?myoption=showsomething
would show something and
exemple.php?myoption=showsomethingdifferent
would show something different

where could i find a begginner tutorial or something for that?

thanks

You access the URL values via the $GET super-global array. In your example, you would use the value of $GET['myoption'] to determine what gets displayed (perhaps as a value used in a database query, for example).
