What is the purpose/function of inserting the ".php" into the file exists
code?
This is just how my site is set up. There is only one page...but 3 steps to
"index.php"
Step 1) index.php outputs the header.php (require_once "header.php";)
Step 2)
then index.php includes a file dependant upon $pageid
eg. $pageid = "profile"
therefore the profile.php page is included (if it exists)
Step 3)
index.php then outputs the footer (require_once "footer.php";)
Does that mean all called/inserted pages will have to be .php?
pages ending with .php do not need to contain any php code. (they can be
plain html) if they do contain php code... the code will be parsed.
What is the $linkid variable attached to?
$linkid is same as $pageid i just changed the name so you didn't get
confused... lol.. silly me.
$linkid would contain your page names... eg "profile" or "calendar" so that
when clicked it includes the profile.php page or calendar.php page...
