You meen the URLs look like
index.php?ID=1251341234
Etc.

I can think of three reasons:
  1. Pages are served within a Frameset
  2. Content is controlled by the quesry string (as per samarudge's post above)
  3. URL is "mapped" (as with eg. Zend Framework's "rewrite router")
Airshow
50% of the solution lies in accurately describing the problem!

You can use a couple of things with this.

Read about URL Rewriting (a bit advanced thing, but you can try). Or search on this forum, you will get somethng about URL Rewriting using .htaccess.

Other option, where only index page shows, you can put your pages dynamic.
For eg: you have 4 pages, Home,About Us, Services, Clients

So you can have your url as :
index.php?page=home
index.php?page=about
index.php?page=services
index.php?page=clients

For php, you can create your pages separately and then you can create an index page with the below like code:

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <?php
  2.  
  3. $page = $_GET['page'];
  4.  
  5. switch($page)
  6. {
  7.     case 'home': include("home.php");
  8.     break;
  9.     case 'about': include("about_us.php");
  10.     break;
  11.     case 'services': include("services.php");
  12.     break;
  13.     case 'clients': include("clients.php");
  14.     break;
  15.     case default: include("home.php");
  16.     break;
  17. }
  18. ?>
VâRûN

Do the pages welcome.php, view.php, payment.php etc exist? You need to create them too.

By the way I noticed a few errors:

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <li><a href="direct.php?pagepage=view">Call History</a></li>
should be
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <li><a href="direct.php?page=view">Call History</a></li>

and

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <li><a href="direct.php?changepass.php">Change Password</a></li>
should be
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <li><a href="direct.php?page=changepass">Change Password</a></li>
