I'm not following what you mean?  :-\

 

If you want a dynamic php page to output certain content based on a variable in the url, then the code above is part of the solution for doing that.

OK, I'll now give more details.

I first crated page.php in my htdocs (xampp) and in this page.php i've made script that uses mySQL to get article content.

As you can see this page also has link  "http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?action=post;topic=360963.0;last_msg=1707183" but for me it's interesting just "index.php?action=post;topic=360963.0;last_msg=1707183". How I can make page that will use mySQL database for any article and print it into page.php?name=article_name  site?

Do you know what I mean now?

thanks again

Do you know how to write an SQL select query?

[tutor1]

OK OK... I know... I'll make for every title link like <a href="page.php?name=title_name">title</a> and in page.php I'll read from mySQL with Title name... then I'll print title,content,autor name and so on.

Thanks !!!!
