xx.php?string BASIC HELP

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 21.2003

I am after the help of a genius.

I have a page called index.php and I would like to get variables from the url…
I can handle index.php?id=news, and echo something if that is in the url, by putting “news” into “id”.

But im after something a little more advanced…

index.php?news

skipping the “id=news” bit…

would just display news

e.g. the code i thought would work, and what i have at the moment is :

<?php
if($news) {
echo “news stuff tester message”;
} ?>

but that does not work (just a blank page).

anyone able to help?

… maybe an environmental variable?

kind regards,

gabe

@gabewebauthorDec 23.2003 — is it possible to link this to a mysql query where the case is linked to a query system...

switch($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])

{

case '$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']':

include '';

break;

}

i've been trying this for about 8 hours with different combinations of query code, but i cant get the switch to interface with the query. damn. is it impossible?

for instance im trying to get it so something a record in table "func" would have a "f" (column) value of "cancerresearch", and another record's "f" value would be "help_the_aged".

so index.php?help_the_aged would point to a link in the database or something.

hmmm, should i just do a mysql result for ($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']), with an error handler?

Success!
