Alright, I don't really know what to call this, so maybe that's why I can't find any tutorials online, but in PHP you know how most sites, atleast professional sites have index.php?id=1 or whatever, with the id, and such. How do I do this? Could someone post code? commented? tutorial? virtually anything is helpful!
Thanks.
Look up $_GET on the PHP Website.
Since this took me a bit to figure out when I started, I'll give a simple example.
This is if you do index.php?page=X
<?php
if (isset($_GET['page'] ) )
{
$page = $_GET['page'];
}
else
{
$page = 0;
}
switch ($page )
{
case 1:
echo "Contents of index.php?page=1";
break;
case 2:
echo "Contents of index.php?page=2";
break;
default: //OPTIONAL
echo "Contents of index.php?page=anythingelse";
break;
}
?>
Almost, you should cast $_GET['page'] to int before you check it.
Assuming you're expecting an int :P
Warrior,
When ever you see Something=Value on the URL, this is simply saying $Something = value;
So if I were to have code that said
<?
echo("Your name is ".$name);
?>
And you made the URL say, http://yoursite.com/index.php?name=Warrior, you would get a page that says 'Your name is Warrior'.
Hope this helps!
AHAHAHAHA!!!!
CrAzY, Warrior knows more PHP than you could ever hope to. He was responding to me, because I said cast it to an int. And he's right. I use numbers for all of my page traversing, so I'm used to casting to int everything.
ew @ http://site.com/page.php?id=x, or anything similar.
