I don't get where you put this script in your index.php file? can someone help out please?


<?php
$page = $_GET["page"];

switch($page) {
case "tutorials": include("tutorials.php"); break;
case "scripts": include("scripts.php"); break;

default: include("main.php");
}
?>

Yeah, Index. Put it where you want the info on the page to show up (I believe its that one_

[VivaLaRaza]

huh? lol i don't get it, it's from this tut from Naruto

www.darkgamer.com/index.php?page=scripts&id=16

and i want to make the script show up and work on the address bar like for example a link like this:
www.host.com/index.php?page=pagename do you get it? I'm trying to use it for my site

Do you happen to know any PHP, what so ever?

[CrAzY_J]

its a tutorial not a script therefor you must have some knowlege of PHP.

also you will need a PHP supporting host to make a PHP code work

1. You need a host that supports PHP.

2. Insert the coding into your index.php file (in the body area, where all your main text appears).

3. Create a new file and put text in it. Save it as "FILENAME.php" Change FILENAME to the name of your file.

4. Change this line:

case "tutorials": include("tutorials.php"); break;

To:

case "PAGENAME": include("FILENAME.php"); break;

5. Change PAGENAME to the name you want to appear here:

http://www.your-site.com/index.php?page=PAGENAME

6. Change include("FILENAME.php") to the name of the file you named above.

7. Upload all files.

8. Go to your site and edit the address bar to display the following:

http://www.your-site.com/index.php?page=PAGENAME

You know what to edit.

Well I understand that script totally, but the thing is how do you get a URL like this one:

"http://www.darkgamer.com/index.php?page=scripts&id=16"

I know how to get the "index.php?page=scripts" part fine, but the "&id16" totally baffles me, could someone please go into more depth about this, as it's getting me slightly stressed!

Thanks in advance.[/size]

To be able to do that, I suggest learning PHP and if-else statements. That'll teach you how to set it up, if you understand that script. Its hard to explain otherwise.
