Hello, i am trying to figure out a way to try and load diffrent content from a mysql database, but instead of making diffrent .php files and loading them individualy, i want it to load with the same file, but load diffrent content from the mysql database, how would i be able to do that?

I'm assuming you would use $_GET but how would i do it/check it like..

if ($_GET['action'] == 'something')
// then fetch data from mysql database blah blah blaah?

or you could make the table look like "id, name, data"

page.php?name=contact

$name = $_GET['name'];
$query = mysql_query("SELECT id,name,data FROM content WHERE `name`='$name'");

just make sure to protect for SQL injection, do

$name = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['name']);

Don't tell him that, everybody should learn the hard way. That's where I come in

Oh ok cool, thanks :D, im just wondering, how would i like...say i try to make a link (<a href="blah.php">blah blah</a>) then use $_GET by using "action"... im assumming that you need to add a HTML form?

Not necesarily, you can do it by a link too!

<a href="blah.php?var=value&var2=value3">

sends those values to the $_GET in next page...
