Need some help with db's

Well i'm not sure if its related with db's, but i'm making a website with PHP & Mysql, and i was woundering how you get something like "index.php?view=news", is it anything to do with connecting with db's, and can someone run through what i do to do this.

Hi,

Its just a simple little bit of code that you have to enter into your page. When you slice up your website, Insert the line into the Main Content part, the part where everything is going to be opened.

<? if(isset($page)) { include("$page.php"); } else { include("news.php"); }; ?>

The main page will be news.php and it will do as so...

index.php?page=news
index.php?page=members
index.php?page=results

etc

Hope this helps,

Dane

Thats what went wrong, and i can't spot any problems there :?

Hmm mate...

This is the code that you should enter....

<? if(isset($page)) { include("$page.php"); } else { include("news.php"); }; ?>


You have entered....

<? if(isset($page)) { include("$index.php"); } else { include("test.php"); }; ?>

------------------

You have changed the $page.php with $index.php ... Change that back mate and keep it how it is...

That should work...

If you want to change anything change the "news.php" to whatever.php

Then see if it works.

Thanks

Ahh thnx m8

Also you could use this too, it will go into your index.php

<?
if ($page == "") $page = "news";
if (!file_exists($page.".php")) $page = "error";
include($page.".php");
?>

if you want it to be ./?view=news then change the "page" with view, simple as
Also, if a page doesnt exist when they try click a link, an error will appear

[Stu]

cool, thank you, i will try both methods

oh and also, when making hyper links for it, all u have to do is put ./?page=link
thus when u click it, wont have index.php on it


wots the website addy

a lil explanation of what your doing there...

basically your passing info like you wouldin a variable throught the url so... if you did /?action=insert

then you did
if(action=="insert"){
$result = mysql_query"INSERT INTO db VAULES()";
}

it takes that info ... ... just a lil tell you what it is..
