Simple (I think) Code Question

Expand Post »

Can anyone tell me how I would code links to other pages on my site (using php) whereby the full URL in the address bar looks like this:

http://www.mysite.com/index.php?id=3 (which points to blah.php)

I've done the usual searches on google and such with no luck on how to do it.

Mind you, I'm *not* a coder/webmaster so if you start talking about arrays and such, I'll have no idea what you're talking about :)

Re: Simple (I think) Code Question

I assume you want to redirect from http://www.mysite.com/index.php?id=3 to http://www.anothersite.com/blah.php

You can use header() function to do it.

If not, post here again.

Re: Simple (I think) Code Question

No, what I want to do is hide the actual page link, so the URL reads:

http://www.mysite.com/index.php?id=2

instead of:

http://www.mysite.com/iwanttohidethispage.html

No redirection to another domain, just hiding the actual pages from showing up in the location bar of the browser. For an example, please see http://www.cacert.org

Re: Simple (I think) Code Question

hmm. sounds to me like a simple include, but that's probably inefficient.

[PHP]
<?php

$pages = "/path/to/pages/";
$default = 1;

if(is_file($pages.$_GET['id'].".php")) $p = $_GET['id'];
else $p = $default;

include $pages.$p.".php";
?>
[/PHP]

Just have all your pages as ID numbers.. IE: news page = 3.html

But that's really inefficient, and probably not how you do it =P
