Ever wondered how to get index.php?page=blah ?

Well, here is a simple way, using flat files. First of all, all you pages will run off index.php, so make a backup of it regularly!

Get a blank copy of your "index.php" and where the content will be, enter the following php include:


<?php include("content.txt"); ?>


Save "index.php" & upload it to your ROOT directory of you site.

Now, open up a editor and paste in the following code:


<?php if (isset($page) && file_exists('includes/' . $page . '.html')) { include('includes/' . $page . '.html'); } else { include('includes/news.html'); } ?>


Save this as "content.txt" and upload it to the ROOT of your site.

Now, make a directory on your site called "includes".

Now, upload all your content, BUT, make sure it's just the text, no formatting, template etc. and MAKE SURE that the extension is ".html".

Upload all content into the "includes" directory, and viola! You got a basic php site running! Linking

To link, use:

index.php?page=*THE NAME OF YOUR HTML PAGE IN THE INCLUDES DIRECTORY*
