Hey

 

I have created a list of, lets say 50 towns and i want to make these links.

I have them in a include on page.php and want all the links to go to

 

page-info.php?town=townname

 

Now i know i have to use php echo to display the town in the h1 tag on page.php i.e.

 

plumber in <?php echo(town); ?>

 

But what I can't begin to figure out is how to I define "town" within the list of links...?

 

in asp i simply did this above the list of areas;

 

<%
 Dim strDestination 
 strDestination = Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")
 Select Case strDestination
 Case "/page.asp"
 scriptname="page-info.asp"
 End Select
%>

 

and added this to the links

 

<a href="<% Response.Write(scriptname) %>?town=townname"

 

and this to a function file

 

town= request("town")

 

can anyone help me convert this into PHP??

funny how 10 mins after i posted this i had several emails from offshore "companies" telling me they provide php, sql, database and other script related services

NVM - fixed it myself - using &_GET....

just to correct for future readers with the same problem it is

$_GET['variable_name'];

or

$_POST['variable_name'];

 

sorry not being petty just so that someone doesn't break there monitor because &_GET doesn't work
