Newbie Question

How do I have my whole site on one page of PHP and to get to the pages
would be something like

domain.com/index.php?page1
domain.com/index.php?page2

You can get hold of the part of the query after the ? with:

$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']
but that also includes GET or POST variables, if any, which you'd need
to remove. It might be easier to make your URL of the form:

domain.com/index.php?p=page1

and retrieve it with $_REQUEST['p'] .

After you get the value into a variable, you can use something like:

switch($_REQUEST['p']) {
case 'page1': /* code for page 1 goes here */
break;
case 'page2': /* code for page2 goes here */
break;
default: /* code for unexpected page goes here */
break;
}

It doesn't seem to be working.

Here is the code I tried:

switch($_REQUEST['p']) {
case 'page1': echo "page 1"
break;
case 'page2': echo "page 2"
break;
default: echo "index"
break;
}

?>

I access the code by typing in domain.com/index.php?p=page1

It then returns:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_BREAK, expecting ',' or ';' on
line 4

It could be because you are missing ; at the end of your echo
statements.

Semicolons are needed at the end of each of your echo statements.

Did you actually put your code in there?

Re: Newbie Question

Never mind I just got everything working.

if ($_GET['p'] == "1") {
echo "Page 1";
}
elseif ($_GET['page'] == "2") {
echo "Page 2";
}
else {
echo "Index";
}
?>
