you'll probably want to do this:

for example, your page is index.php
and your link would be www.awebsite.com/index.php?page=x (where 'x' is whatever you want, a number or a string, that would be your table name)

this table name is accessible through:

$page = $_GET['page']; 

to mark a thread resolved click on thread tools at the top of the 1st post and click on "mark thread resolved"

Not sure if this is what you're looking for:

$thisFileName = basename(__FILE__); // 2 underscores on each side of FILE
