if (isset($_GET['page'])) $page=($_GET['page']-1); else $page=0;
$start=abs($page*$per_page);
$q="SELECT count(*) FROM `news`";
$res=mysql_query($q);
$row=mysql_fetch_row($res);
$total_rows=$row[0];
$num_pages=ceil($total_rows/$per_page);


echo '<h1>news projects</h1>';

</DIV></td></tr></table>
<?
endswitch;

here i dont understand what does mean

@$action=$_GET['action'];

@$id=$_GET['id'];

and

if (!$id && $action){

and

if (isset($_GET['page'])) $page=($_GET['page']-1); else $page=0;

when is says

if (isset($_GET['page']))

what does it mean and why not

$page=($_GET['page']-1)

may it be simply

$page=($_GET['page'])

and what does it mean

if (!$action && !$id){

and finally the last question is

if (!$action && $id){

what does it mean
and may i increase one field for picture uploading
thanks for attention
i will wait your responses
