Ok so I am designing a script and I need to display a message when a person clicks a link.

How can I get php to reconize

index.php?message=1

then say success.

and

index.php?message=2

then say Error

Above the content.

but not show ether when it is just index.php

I know it can be done but I just can't figure it out. Thanks for your help.

What you'll need to do is check the content of the variable "$message" and display the appropriate message based on what it contains. Here's a simplified example, untested, but should work. Place this at or near the top of your index.php file:

PHP Code:

$message = preg_replace("/[^0-9]/", '', $_GET['message']);



if($message == '1'){

   print 'Success';

}elseif($message == '2'){

   print 'Error';

}

Just for reference this called the GET method ... you can Google some more info just search for HTML form GET
