Page names.

How does the whole

"www.site.com/pages.php?page=blahblah.php"

Work instead of

"www.site./blahblah.php"
?

By including the file.

Here's a quick function I whipped up that should work.

<?php

function loadPage($name, $pages)
{
if(isset($name) && isset($pages) && is_array($pages))
{
if(isset($pages[$name]))
{
require_once $pages[$key];
return true;
}
}
return false;
}

?>

You would use it like this:


//URL: www.example.net/?page=news
$pages = array('news' => 'index.php', 'about' => 'about.php'); //etc
if(isset($_GET['page']))
{
if(!(loadPage($_GET['page'], $pages) || $pages[$_GET['page']] === substr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 1)))
{
echo 'Error';
}
}

Hmm...I'll try to figure that out...
