php?id=something

[Nate_Benton]

I'm creating a site and want to use this "effect" where its the same php page, but its like different sites, with id's though.
I'm dumb with php, so if anybody can run down how to do this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

<?php
include($_GET['id'].".php");
?>

Save your files as *.php and save them in the same folder as the script. Link to the individual pages as <a href="index.php?id=home"> etc.

Wow, thank you.
This was exactly what I was looking for

Correct me if I am wrong, but can't someone load a remote php page and destroy your site using that?

<?php
$page = $_GET['id'];
if (file_exists("public_html/$page.php")) {
include("$page.php");
} else { echo "file not found"; }
?>

would that help prevent people from messing up your site?

Instead of using .php?id=something, look into permalinks and mod_rewrite. X10 supports rewrite rules, and they can help the security of your site and look a helluva lot nicer than ?id=...

Instead of yourdomain.com/index.php?id=something&a=b you would have yourdomain.com/something/b/ or similar.

is this how you would do it?
in htaccess file
RewriteRule index/(.*)$/(.*)$ /index.php?id=$1&a=$2

i wrote about a solution for this after seeing your thread in my PHP includes tutorial.

[Tomballa]

<?php
function index()
{
include ("home.php");
}

$choice=$_GET['id'];

switch($choice)
{
case "faq":
include ("faq.php"); 
break;

case "tutorials":
include ("tuts.php"); 
break;

default:
index();
}
?>

In the script above, if someone where to go to index.php, it would show the home.php file. If someone where to go to index.php?id=faq, faq.php would load but the url would still look like index.php?id=faq

This is just an example of what you can use to fit your needs. You don't have to use includes for this to work. I just did b/c that is the simplest way.

That way isn't the simplest, but it is definately a secure way ;). The quickest was the first idea posted in this thread - but it was highly insecure.
