url types :)

HI there,

i have come across:

a) ...........index.php?page=nothing

instead of:

b) ......../nothing.php


when i tried doing "a" it did not work, it just stayed on the index.php!
So, how do i go about using the first technique? And how does it work?
Thanks!!!

That simply accepts the querystring into index.php. You then need to program what to do with it:

PHP Code:

if (isset($_GET['page']))
{
    switch ($_GET['page'])
    {
        case 'nothing':
            header('Location: http://yoursite.com/nothing.php');
            exit();
            break;
    }
} 


For example.
