Hi!

Need some PHP help here. You know, in PHP how the URL can sometimes go:

http://somesite.com/index.php?act=something

Okay, so what i want to know is how to make the "act" at the end of the "index.php?". So just say when a user clicked http://somesite.com/index.php?act=contact it would take them to our contact page.

Okay, so how do i code it in the index.php file to tell it to go to our contact page when the user clicks http://somesite.com/index.php?act=contact ??

I think its better like this, so instead of http://somesite.com/contact.php its http://somesite.com/index.php?act=contact

How can i do this? Thanks in advance!

PHP Code:

switch($_GET['act'])
{
  case 'contact':
    require_once('contact.php');
    break;
  default:
    require_once('index.php');
}
?>

thanks. but is there anyway i can point it to a file in another directory?

E.g. directory name is contact and the file in the contact directory is index.php

[brendandonhu]

require_once('contact/index.php');

okay it works, except the page that i wanted it to go to shares the screen with the root index.php

Doesnt matter. I used if else statements to call a function. Thanks for your help!!! Really appreciated.

How about if you want the contact file inside index.php, can you still make it do that?

PHP Code:

switch($_GET['act']) {

case 'contact':
echo 'The info directly in the index.php file'
break;

 default:
//What you want to show up by default when 'act' doesn't equal any of your cases

}

Well you should have put a link to it in your sig.

Thanks.

Remember the site I had that got deleted by harmor's old host? Yeah well it was right there (which I had linked in my sig before it got deleted). The site that listed all my tutorials

I'll eventually put it back up on another site.

I'm glad harmor got a new host, his old one sucked. Randomly deleting sites and stuff.
