Just make a link to the page:

Code:

<a href="page.php?action=view">Link</a>

Or something like that... Unless I am misunderstanding your question?

Yes, you are majorly misunderstanding his question.

Okay
?action=view is called a query.

There are a lot of ways to do this, I'm gonna show you one that you might consider using, but If you have a lot of links, I would not recommend this.

PHP Code:


			
<?php

$page = $_GET['action'];

switch ($page) 

{

    case "home":

        $include = "includes/index.html";

    break;



    case "arts":

    $include = "includes/arts.html";

    break;



    case "aaexpert":

    $include = "includes/aaexpert.html";

    break;



    case "career":

    $include = "includes/career.html";

    break;



    case "comics":

    $include = "includes/comics.html";

    break;



    case "graphics":

    $include = "includes/graphics.html";

    break;



    case "computers":

    $include = "includes/computers.html";

    break;



    case "consumers":

    $include = "includes/consumer.html";

    break;



    default:

                $include = "includes/home.html";

    break;

}

include ($include);

?>

Now when you link, name this page something like links.php or cats.php or whatever.php! For instance http://www.yourdomain.com/whatever.php?action=computers

That would include computers.html. You'll obviously need to change the paths/to/files.

Hope this helps.

another simple way would be to have an array of pages, but once again, not reccomended for very big sites.

PHP Code:


			


<?php



$pages = array(

'page1'=>'page1.html',

'page2'=>'page2.html',

'home'=>'index.html');



if(isset($_GET['view']) && isset($pages[$_GET['view']])){



       include($pages[$_GET['view']]);



} else {



      include('defaultpage.html');



}



?>

Yeah, I would recommend the array. Its much easier and the case: break; can get kinda old and long.

Well, I learned something new today, thanks missing-score
