Guest | | ?area= ???? (30th May 09 at 8:42am UTC) | | This may sound like an odd question, but who here has tried to take there website url and get it so it says something like http://www.domainname.com/index.php index2 or something along those lines? I've been trying to do it for a while now in a staff area on a website of mine and I can't figure it out, so I am wondering if I am the only person taht can't figure it out 
Though I do know is that the "area" you want needs to be names accordingly, so for like the example i used above, in your host it should be names index-index2.php, or so i've been told, and if done it will convert, but one problem I can't get it. Anyways i'm wondering does anyone know where I can find like guides on how to do this stuff, and if there is any coding involved which i about imagine there is. Anything would help right about now because i'm getting annoyed lol. | |

Guest | | Re: ?area= ???? (30th May 09 at 8:12pm UTC) | | | kind of, more like subpages, not exactly all pages. So like if the webpage is in a staff are like staffcp.php its sub pages would be something like staffcp-help.php, staffcp-test.php, exc. I've seen it done a lot and I just don't know how they do it. | |

There's a few ways it could be done but all are based on the global $_GET information. That array contains any parameters passed to the page in the URL that way (&key=value). You can then check the contents of the one called id/action/page/whatever you want to call it and use that to decide what code to use or what file to include. For example:
$action = (isset($_GET['action']) && !empty($_GET['action']))? addslashes($_GET['action']) : 'home';
switch($action) {
case 'some-id1':
include 'includes/some-file-name.php';
break;
case 'some-id-2':
include 'pages/do-something.php';
break;
default:
echo "Choose a function to use:...";
break;
