There are several ways to do it.

The basic idea is you take the value of your page variable, "page" and depending on it you load content into the page.

For instance, if you content is in a DB: you would take the page value and generate a query that would retrieve the content of the "aboutus" page.

you could also do it using includes. so you would include the file with the name aboutus.php or the file named 1.php depending on the value of your variable.

You have a Database (DB) that has your content? or you want your content to appear inside a DIV in your page?


For Content that is stored in a Database have a read here:

O.k, so where are you going to get the content from?

Is it from other html files?

You can do something like:


Code: 
<div id="content">
<?PHP
if($_GET['page']=="aboutus"){
include ("path\to\aboutus.html");
}
?>
</div>

Where page is the name of the variable you use in your link like index.php?[red]page[/red]=aboutus

Just keep adding if's if you have more pages, and you can add a default include if there is no value passed. That is if s the first time the open the page, and no link has been clicked.

vacunita, thank you for that, it works but when i open as you said above, index.php?page=aboutus, in the about us page, it is ok, good looking but at the end it shows this link where i clicked previously ... how to avoid that? thanks

try this. delete your index.php and replace it with just this

Code: 
<?php

if(isset($_GET['page'])){
	$page = trim($_GET['pge']);
} else {
	$page = 'default';
}
?>
<html>
<body>
<div>
	this is a header div where you put information that you want repeated on every page
</div>
<div>
<?php include $page.".php"; ?>
</div>
<div>
	This is a footer div where you put information that you want repeated on every page
</div>
</body>
</html>
<?php exit();?>
then create files called aboutus.php, default.php etc that contain the content that you want to appear in the middle div.

if instead you want the middle div content to come from a database then use the value of the $page variable to query the database and output the value in that div rather than using an include.
