[SOLVED] How does this work?

[forumnz]

I saw a website and it had a URL like example.com/subdir/?option=something

Is it basically like example.com/subdir/index.php?option=something ?

 

 

Thanks,

Sam.

it uses the "option" variable to send a query string to the "index.php" page.

 

basic example (put this in your "index.php" to see results):

 

<?php

$option1 = $_GET['option'];

echo "$option1";

?>

 

you can use the string variable and value for multiple php purposes.

because when you access a index file you do not need to type in the index and extension

 

just as

website.com/subdr/

is the same as

website.com/subdr/index.php

Depends on the webhost and how you have your default pages setup.
