write echo '<form method="get" action="">'

and then change your code in de.php to
if(isset($_REQUEST['page'])){
//connect to your database
//query the database for page where id=the value in $_REQUEST['page']
//retreive html-page and display

}else{
//display normal de.php

There was a comment on hidden fields. Variables carried by urls are easy
to manipulate,
and although it looks cool (yes it does) perhaps you should avoid them.
Then the method is
post, not get, but the code in de.php remains (since you use the
REQUEST-method which accepts both POST and GET)
