Re: Please Help!!!! - Really BASIC stuff!

This will allow you to have more control over what pages get edited... but you can use something a little easier like... <? $filename= $page . ".php" include ("$filename"); ?> At 09:02 PM 3/6/01 +0000, you wrote:

Hi Martin, It's important to know that "Stuff" in the Url like this are just variables. For example : foo.php?fruit=apples&dog=snoopy&others=huh&more=yep Now with foo.php we can do this (a few exceptions) : echo "$dog would like to each some $fruit"; And in your case, you have $page so let's compare your $page variable and include files accordingly. We'll be using an if statement which can be read about here : http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.php This will do the job : <?php if ($page == 'visual') {

    echo '<h3>Visual Stuff is Good!</h3>';
    include 'visual.txt';

} elseif ($page == 'audio') { echo '<h3>Welcome to Musical Section!</h3>'; include 'audio.inc'; } else { echo '<h3>Welcome to my site!</h3>'; include 'default.php'; } ?> Yes there are other ways but this is the simplest and you should (and will!) learn to use if/elseif/else which will be useful in the future.
