chordsoflife Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 So I'm trying to make my own PHP CMS by using a few tutorials on A List Apart, but I don't understand what's going on. Can anyone explain how to/what is the "?=" thing in the link? I've split everything and included everything, yet nothing is dynamic. I still have to hand code every page. I think I just don't understand the concept and it seems to be left out. What don't I get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonMariner Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I don't think you are quite ready yet... have a read up on how data(information) is passed between pages via a browser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD* Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Those are variables. You can use those to pass information to a page (using $_GET) to do database queries or affect other code on the page. For example, if I wanted to make something that displays a news article, my URL may look like article.php?id=15 then in my page I will have code like mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news WHERE ID = '".$_GET['id']."'") or die(mysql_error()); That will make my query dynamic, only selected the record with an ID of what I want at the time.
