using the same .php file but have .php?id=prod01, prod02, etc..

What is the best method to have, for instance, products.php and then have links on that page that would click to the following url's:

products.php?id=prod01

products.php?id=prod02

products.php?id=prod03

..the page would have the same html templates but the "content" area would change for each. Does this make sense?

The way many people use is

<?php
$id = $_GET['id'];

if(file_exists($id.'.php')){
include($id.'.php');
}else{
echo 'File does not exist';
}
?>


It's not very secure, but it's a nice simple way to see how it's done without the use of a database

I sorta get it. Now what does the href/link code look like?

What that basically does is see if a file exists that's in the id variable in the url (page.php?id=001). So for id=001, it will search for 001.php. If that file exists, it will include the file into your page.

Excellent, thanks all!
