php change address bar text

[perezf]

for instance from [site.com/games.php] to a [site.com/?page=games]

[perezf]

can anyone help me at all

[craygo]

Yes you can do it. You will still have to make both pages

you will have to have at least one page show. like

[a href=\"http://site.com/index.php?page=games\" target=\"_blank\"]http://site.com/index.php?page=games[/a]

The on the index page all you need to do is include the page

index.php
[code]<?
include(''.$_GET['page'].'.php');
?>[/code]

im not really understanding what your trying to say

[ober]

$_GET is a global array that grabs information out of the URL. If someone goes to your site or clicks on a link from your site with the following address: "mysite.com/index.php?page=123" then you're going to find "123" in the variable: $_GET['page'].

So in your index page, you need to handle that:

[code]<?php
if(isset($_REQUEST['page']))
{
    switch($_GET['page'])
    {  
          case "123":
                include("page123.php");
          break;
          case "foo":
                include("foobar.php");
          break;
}
else
    include("main.php");
?>[/code]

Does that help? Also, please do not bump your thread 12 minutes after posting a question. Someone will get to it.
