how do i generate page with "php?="

[jaguarr]

It's to my understanding that you don't have to have all the webpages stored on your servers.  There are pages that are generated dynamically and you can link to it with a question mark after "php". 

 

For example, if you go to google.com and do a search, the result page url will have a question mark, like this:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=test&btnG=Google+Search

 

How does this work?  An example would be really helpful.  Thanks a lot.

What dynamic pages usually do is take those variables from the url using the $_GET superglobal.

 

If you have page.php?var=3, you do $_GET['var'] to get 3 and you run that through your DB to generate the data for the page.

 

It is pretty simple once you understand the basic idea.

 

website.com/page.php?user=jaguaar

 

SELECT * FROM user WHERE user_name = $_GET['user'] //dont ever do this, but here is an example of how you can use it
