trq Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Of course. This is the basics of dynamic web development. <?php if (!isset($_GET['user'])) { echo "Username:<br />"; echo "<a href='?user=geoff'>Geoff</a><br />"; echo "<a href='?user=bill'>Bill</a><br />"; echo "<a href='?user=fred'>Fred</a><br />"; } else { switch ($_GET['user']) { case 'geoff': echo "This is Geoff's information"; break; case 'bill': echo "This is Bill's information"; break; case 'Fred': echo "This is Fred's information"; break; default: echo "User not found"; } } ?> The information within the switch can come from wherever you like, be it a database query or a seperate file. I just hardcoded as an example. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/110717-solved-load-content-from-link-withouth-ajax/#findComment-568037 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesushax Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 i know abotu switches my site has 100s of them let me re phrase a bit, how can i do it without reloading the page, or should i just add some more switches to my current pages and let it reload? cheers Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/110717-solved-load-content-from-link-withouth-ajax/#findComment-568039 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 You can't do it without reloading the page. PHP runs on the server, hence a request needs to be made to the server.
