[RESOLVED] help with linking in php

[fearfx]

ok i want my website to not have long urls so im using urlencode...

now what php code is needed to say

if this link is clicked redirect to the specific page?

[rowanparker]

What kinda URL's are you wanting to redirect from?

[fearfx]

its a learning project cms

but what i want is links to show up in the browser as - blah.com/?q=Business
instead of blah.com/business.php

but theirs 10 links in my main navigation.

you know what I mean?

[rowanparker]

header("Location: http://blah.com/" . strtolower($_GET['q]) . ".php");

[fearfx]

im confused this is what i have so far, now the links are database driven.

<?php 

include ('lib/config.php');

$link = $_GET['menu'];

$result = mysql_query("SELECT id,menu FROM wsd_nav")
   				 or die(mysql_error());
					while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
						{
    						if ($link == $row['menu'])
								{
									$id = $row['id'];
								}
						} 

$result1 = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM wsd_nav WHERE menu = '{$id['menu']}'")
   				 or die(mysql_error());

			 if ($result1['id'] == '1')
			 	{
					header ("Location: http://okauchee.fearfx.com/business/");
				}

?>

This box of code below creates the navigation menu.

<?php
					    $result = mysql_query("SELECT id,menu FROM wsd_nav")
    					or die(mysql_error());
							while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
								{
    								echo '<a href="?q=' . urlencode($row['menu']) . '">'
   									 . htmlspecialchars($row['menu']) . "</a><br />\n"; 
								} 
						?>

Now I want to know how to make this work, so when a link is clicked it goes to the corresponding page.
