hiding variables in url??

[mattm1712]

i was wondering how i would go about this say

 

<a href='index.php?page=home'>Home</a>

 

<?php

$page= $_GET['page'];

if($page=="home")

{

echo "hello";

}

 

?>

 

but now would i hide the ?page=home?????

Why would you want to do that?

 

Check out mod_rewrite if using Apache

That's not possible, if you use GET variables they will be displayed in the URL, you could make it neater using mod_rewrite:

 

 

.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   Options +FollowSymLinks
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ index.php?page=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
</IfModule>

 

 

Untested.
