Ques for Making Links

[evilgenius]

Hi,

 

I'm quite new to PHP, and need help with making links for my new website.

 

If there are two page

1- Index.php

2- contact.php

 

What do I have to do to make them appear like, www.sitename.com/index.php?action=contact

 

Thanks in advance for any help

everything after a questionmark ( ? ) is in the global $_GET-Array.

So if you say:

<?php
   if (isset($_GET['action'])) { //action set?
      if ($_GET['action'] == 'contact') { //does action has the value contact?
         require 'contact.php'; //bind contact.php
      }
   }
?>

Here is what I would do, and it allows you to add pages as you wish:

 

<?php

$action= $_GET['action'];

if (isset($action)) {
include "$action.php";
} else {
include "home.php";
}

?>

 

Make your link just as you stated, then it will set action from the url as a variable "$action". From that you include the correct page, if action isn't set, then it includes a home page. You can do a lot with this basis.

If you use the code I put for you, you would just simply do this:

 

<span class="style22">Comments and suggestion are welcome, please [b]<a href="index.php?action=contact">Contact Us</a>[/b] and lets know what you think of Funmasti. </span><br>

 

This will link you to - www.____.com/index.php?action=contact  which will be your index page and include the contact wherever you place that bit of code. ( or any page you want to link like this, which is how you do templates )

What you said is that you want the contact page pulled in to the index page, when you click a link such as 'contact us'. You use the first code that I posted to pull the contact page in, if it is set in the url. The code pulls in home.php if nothing is set, if it is set, it pulls in whatever it is set to. You can easily make it work only if action = contact.

 

<?php

$action= $_GET['action'];

if ($action == contact) {
include "contact.php";
}

?>

 

The link you have on your site now will cause this script to include contact.php wherever you place it.
