<?php
if (isset($_GET['p'])) {
$p = (strstr($_GET['p'], ".php")) ? $_GET['p'] : $_GET['p'].".php";
if (file_exists($p)) {
include $p;
}
}
else {
include "index.php";
}
?>



so how do i set what its to display for the certain extension and how do i set several?

Just use

$p = $_GET['p'];

and set it in the $_GET variable.

sorry havent done much pgp could you show me for example how i could do something like this:

setting
?action=banmember
displays the ban content
and
?action=newmember
displays the new member content

[pyro]

Try something like this:

$action = (isset($_GET['action'])) ? $_GET['action'] : "";
if ($action == "banmember") {
#ban member code
}
else if ($action == "newmember") {
#new member code
}

thank you so much it works :)

For something like this, I'd highly, highly recommend using a database. MySQL is my favorite...

1: Can't tell you. ;) Seriously. The SQL part stands for Structured Query Language, but even the offical site (http://www.mysql.com/) does not account for the "my" preface... It's one of life's great mysteries...

2: Take a look at http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/MySQL

3: Your server just needs to support MySQL to use it, but phpMyAdmin (http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/) helps make things a heckuva lot easier.
