That's a _really_ bad idea. It is better to store all of them in a
database (MySQL is a simple one and works perfectly with PHP) ordered by
an id. So the script can take a numerical argument ID which will hold
the ID of the text which shall be shown. The argument can be passed as a
GET variable (script.php?variable=value&second=second_value) and you can
get it with $_GET['variable_name']. Take a better look here
http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php#reserved.variables.get
.. However don't forget to filter than input argument first, to prevent
SQL Injections :
$id = $_GET['id'];
if($id == strval(intval($id))) { /* Okay, do the query */ }
else die('Looser !');
Hope this helps,
