Okay, how do i do this without a database
on the index.php page is it possible to make arrays or something which include the code for that part part of the page and then print from that array.

Heres an example but it doesnt work ( duh! )

<?php

index.php?page=$blablabla

$main = {

<td> <h1> Welcome to the Main Page </h1> </td>
};

$news = {

<h1> Welcome to the news page </h1>
};

$contact = {

<h1> Contact Us below </h1>
mailto: contact@us.com?Subject=Contact from website

};

?>

Get my drift, is this possible???

You mean you want to put lines of HTML in a variable? Use a heredoc:

PHP Code:

$myvar <<< HTML

    lines and lines and lines<br />

    of <font color="red">HTML</font>

HTML;

I am short on time (thus I cannot create you code), but look up these:

SWITCH, CASE, BREAK.

ok, i did one 4 ya

<? if (empty($page)){
print"this is wot is displayed if the page is home page say index.php with no other tag!, if you want to say leave a link to another page you can use
<a href='index.php?page=testone'>test one</a><br><a href='index.php?page=testtwo'>test two</a>";
} else if ($page= testone) {
print"this test is using the include function so it displays a page";
include "testpage.php";
} else if ($page == testtwo) {
print"testing testing 123<br>
this test consists of information already being inside the php before uploading";
} else {
print " error: mail webmaster at blah@blahblah.com" ;
?>

there you go. hope it works 4 ya.

The above code is faulty because the strings in the if...else statements are seen by the script as constants. Here is the best way to do it:

<?php
switch ($page)
{
case "a":
echo "contents of index.php?page=a";
break;

case "b":
echo "contents of index.php?page=b";
break;

default:
echo "contents of index.php";
}
?>

Personally, i prefer the inlcude() function.

PHP Code:

<?

if (page == "news"){

         $inc = "news.php";

}

elseif (page == "profile"){

         $inc = "profile.php";

}

else {

         $inc = "error.php";

}



include($inc);

?>



<a href="?page=news>News</a>

<a href="?page=profile>Profile</a>

That way, it's more expandable. Just make different file for different page. You might want to make seperate header too. If you squeeze all the pages in 1 page, it's going to be very big and consume processing time. Really it's expandable. One day you might want to be able to change bg color... e.g index.php?page=news&bgcolor=red&text=big
