PHP Query Strings

Anon

Hi:

I have a quick question. How can I make a page with a PHP/MYSQL database so that it will look like this.

$query

Something like that. I want it so that on my homepage, I want to have some multiple values. Example.

index.php?id=5, index.php?id=6, index.php?id=6, index.php?id=7 etc.

I want to have multiple values so I have different categories. What do I do?

THanks for your help.

I basically mean that I want different categories. The value "id" can be what ever. IT can be "id" "catID" "categorie" what ever. But what do I do to have it so it looks like

index.php?whatever=whatever

THanks a lot.

It is still not clear what it is you are trying to do.

"I want to have multiple values so I have different categories."

Multiple values where? Do you mean multiple links? Multiple choices? Please attempt to explain yourself more fully. We can't see what your thinking.

Sorry. What I mean is, that say I have a game page. For example, say there are 5 different games I want on my site. Say the name of the page is "index.php" instead of making a folder and having it like this,
game1.php, game2.php, game3.php, game4.php, game5.php, I would like to have it like this. There is a name and value. Like this:

game.php?gameID=1
game.php?gameID=2

Something like that. I will be able to change the values of "gameID" and "1". That is basically what I want. I want to make it so that when you stick a query string on an ending of a "PHP" page, it will actually be somewhere and be valid.
Thanks a lot

I understand. I don't know why nobody else does.

It is simple...

You have a normal link, lets say:

index.php?id=1

To get that into you php you would have this in index.php

$id = $HTTP_GET_VARS["id"];

If ($id == "1") {
[what ever you want goes here]
}
elseif ($id == "2") {
[what ever you want goes here]
}
elseif ($id == "3") {
[what ever you want goes here]
}
and so on

and if you want there to be a plain index.php page with no variable add this:

else {
[content]
}

Hope this is clear enough
