$_GET['page'] Problem

[depojones]

Thank you for clicking on my question. I was wondering if anyone can teach me how to create links like this in php

 

hxxp://www.domain.com/index.php?page=home

hxxp://www.domain.com/index.php?page=contact

hxxp://www.domain.com/index.php?page=terms

 

and what are the disadvantages.

 

Thanks in advance

here

 

$page = $_GET

---

;

if ($page == "index")
include ("index.php")
elseif ($page =="contact")
include ("contact.php")

 

do this for as many pages as you need, put this code in all of the files you want to link to and your index file.

 

when you hyperlink use the following:

 

<a href="/?page=pagename>pagename</a>

 

Hope this helps,

Shergold.

I'd recommend wrapping that code in a class or a separate includes file, that way you only have to include one file, or call one class.  Now if you ever need to add new include files, you don't have to update every file

good idea

Thank you guys. I will also make sure I protect it from RFI.

Also i would do

if(isset($_GET['page]')) $page = $_GET['page'] ;

 

otherwise you will start clocking up errors when page isnt added to the URL

 

...just nice house keeping.
