Re: How do you do the ? mark after a filename

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Thank you for that, it was a big help.

Can I also call function that way?

Again thank you for your help.

Hi All,

I keep seeing the ? mark after many file names index.php?id=234.

So what I would like to know is how do you make them. I have heard that
they can make a programs life sampler when doing somethings with a database.

Thank you,

Thomas

You can retrieve variables from the URL using the GET method. This is
similar to using the POST method with data from forms.
A typical url with something like
www.domain.com/index.php?id=35&format=html would provide the page with
two variables, id & format.
It's the equivalent of putting the following in the page.
$id = 35;
$format = 'html';

This is popular with simple CMS/Templating systems where you use a
standard page and the id variable loads the relevant article text.

Hope that helps.

Tom
