Creating Index.php3?subject=home

[SniperUK]

How can I run my site so it goes some thing like this.
Index.php3?subject=home
Index.php3?subject=pictures
Index.php3?subject=winamp
Index.php3?subject=conatct

Thanks

read Kevin Yank's tutorial on PHP and mySQL databasing of a site.

you should be able to alter the coding he uses to build what you want.

Hi,

You could use this basic layout in one php page for what you want. You need to read Kevin's tutorial to be able to fully understand the basic concepts of php, if you don't have access to a book or other references.

If ("submit" = $home) {
Coding for main page goes here.
}

If ("submit" = $pictures) {
Coding for picture page goes here.
}

If ("submit" = $winamp) {
Coding for winamp page goes here.
}

If ("submit" = $contact) {
Coding for contact page goes here.
}

I believe that coding is correct, but I am not 100% positive that it is.

if you have a page:
Index.php3?subject=pictures

it would look like:
if("$subject"=="pictures"){
Coding for winamp page goes here.
}

I did this for just one page on my site and it made the page 40k. It doesn't matter cause I had to do it, but still, that was for only two sections, and if you have 5 it will take the page for ever to load. I am talking about the if (subject == "Contact) {
echo ("Contact Text");
}
...

jumpthru:
The code for the page might be 40k but the output to the browser won't be.

As for the code...this is more efficient.

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">code/font><HR><pre>
switch $subject {
case "home":
//HOME code
break;
#---------------#
case "winamp":
//WINAMP code
break;
}
[/code]

Sure, just use this code:

EDIT: ERROR FIXED!

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">code/font><HR><pre>
if ($id == "Contact) {
echo ("Contact Text");
}
[/code]

this code will do script.php3?id=Contact
