How to make multiple pages through one file

[jdock1]

Im still a noob in PHP & got a rather stupid question.

 

Many sites running php use pretty much one php file for everything.

 

For example, a site uses index.php for everything. There are other pages defined as index.php?id=1 & index.php?id=2 etc.

 

Ive been trying code out and cant really do it all that well.

 

Could somebody explain this for me?

 

Thanks

Which do you want to know? The formal or the latter? If the first, have this code in all your pages.

 

include("stuff.php");

The whole index.php?id= thing is using the GET method.

 

<?php
$id = $_GET['id'];

switch($id){
     case 1: include "page1.php"; break;
     case 2: include "page2.php"; break;
     default: include "home.php";
}
?>
