Why do you do this? Is it somehow easier to manage? I was just wondering. I was just wondering. I see it done on alot of webpages and I was wonderin what its for
your links are like http://www.mendhak.com/paranormal/ufo/show.php?id=10
instead of making it http://www.mendhak.com/paranormal/ufo/whatever.php or html
It probably pulls information out of a database, or calls a certain function in his show file.
Storing records in a database and pulling them out...that's a much better method than having 0001.html through 1895.html.
Hope you don't mind me trying answer. I am not of frog kind.
yeah, it's like hobo said. I do the same thing, because it is a hell of a lot easier to make a dynamic script that will automatically call the database upon request than taking up server space and your own time to have 0001.php through 9999.php for article numbers.
They've answered correctly. All I had to do was create show.php, and based upon the query string (id=10), I pull up information. Saves up on a lot of coding, especially if you want to modify something.
VBForums has the example right there for you. You can do a forumdisplay.php?forumid=1, and a forumdisplay.php?forumid=3. The page stays the same, actions are different.
