In your example you could set up the index.php file as below:
<?php
//index php
//this is the shell for your page.
echo "<!DOCTYPE html";
echo "PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN\"";
echo "\"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd\">";
echo "<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xml:lang=\"en\"
lang=\"en\">";
echo "<head>";
echo " <meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
charset=utf-8\" />";
echo " <title>Dummy Title</title>";
echo "</head>";
echo "<body>";
if (isset($_GET['con'])) {
$con = $_GET['con'] . ".inc";
} else {
$con = "nocontent.inc";
}
require $con;
echo "</body>";
echo "</html>";
?>
Then another file named hello.inc.
<?php
//hello.inc
if (isset($_GET['user'])) {
$user = $_GET['user'];
echo "<p>Hello there $user</p>";
} else {
echo "<p>Hello there mysterious stranger</p>";
}
?>
You would then call this page:
http://yourserver.yourdomain/index.php?cont=hello&user=Phil
Of course you would have to have a file nocontent.inc that would handle
requests that do not have the cont set.
You could then do things like create a form page ... say getuserqry called
by: http://yourserver.yourdomain/index.php?cont=getuserqry
then when this form posts the action is:
http://yourserver.yourdomain/index.php?cont=showuser
showuser.inc would use the post variables and perform some action (say query
a database) and present the data to the user.
I hope this all makes sense to you and is in line with what you are asking.
