Content & address?

[[deleted]]

I'm pretty new to PHP, and keep seeing page where the content seems to be specified by xxx.php?yyy.zzz . I don't exactly know whats going on here, but I assume the xxx.php is like a template and the ?yyy.zzz tells xxx.php what to insert into a defined position as content. Does anyone know how this works, what the hell I'm going on about, or how to do this?

What you see is just HTTP's "GET" information being passed to the PHP page, just asif an HTML form was submitted use "method=GET".

The GET information is immediately available in the PHP script either as Global variables or data in an array called $HTTP_GET_VARS.

You can use this data to decide what to print on the next page.

You may want to check the PHP manual for more info.
