I got a question  regarding a news website content that i want to make ! my question is how do i  call my contents without using a lot of page?  i explain  let's say i got 10 news how do i put this 10 news in different pages without using 10 pages ? ex: you can see some links having a number like this http://bbc.uk/news/murder_case-12 then the next page got http://bbc.uk/news/finance-13 the title and the number id change but the page news doesnt change    thanks for your answer.

Those type of 'search engine friendly URLs' use the "mod_rewrite" Apache module (or Windows equivalent), to rewrite the URLs to pass in the values as parameters.

 

For example if you have "example.com/page/my-page", the URL could be re-written to "example.com/page.php?name=my-page". The value is then retrieved within the PHP script (look into the $_GET and $_POST super globals) and the database is queried for a page with the name "my-page". If found the contents are retrieved are then 'dynamically' displayed within the page, to give the 'illusion' of multiple pages.

Thanks a lot it is exactly what i was looking for but you know i got this php script with  pagination when i get my contents from my databases (mysql) with the script like (SELECT Title, News, Author , Date FROM eetc..) i realise that i also need some kind of link for each content so people will be able to click on it and be directly redirect to the full content !! i m just a beginer in php and i m kind of looking for script all over the net i understand  and know our to manipulate them so i can use them !!
