Simple php question.

[Dark_Archon]

i'm new to php and would need a easy to understand answer if possible.

 

im looking for a way to be able to enter numbers into a textarea submmit form type thing so that it changes a certain link that i need to be changed. for example:

 

if you put 1234 in the submit form (or w/e) the url would change to http://url.com/lalala/hmm=1234

 

or if there's a way to to do the same thing, but changing the actual URL of my website (example: http://mywebsite.com/test/1234) so that it makes the numbers, again, http://url.com/lalala/hmm=1234.

What you are asking for would be achieved with html and the .htaccess file on an apache config.

[Dark_Archon]

how would i go about doing it?

even the submit form way would be nice.

 

wouldnt that be easier?

 

is there an easy way to explain that way?

You should read about HTML forms and how they work.

[dezkit]

<?php $page = $_GET["page"];
if (!$page) {
include "/home.php";
}

else if($page=="1234")       { include "test/1234.php"; }
else { echo "<b><h1>404 Error</h1></b>"; } 
?> 

 

index.php?page=1234 is really /test/1234.php
