Hi.

That's the kind of URL you get when submitting a <form> using the GET method.

The values are simply encoded into the string and can then be fetched through the $_GET superglobal.

You don't have to use the <form> element tho. You can do something like this, for example:

<?php
if(isset($_GET['myvar'])) {
  echo "<p>". $_GET['myvar'] ."</p>";
}
echo '<a href="thispage.php?myvar='. time() .'">Linkage</a>';
?>
 

Which should print the timestamp when the link was clicked at the top of the page.

Dear... i am not asking for form request.. i am just asking about to call pages in index.php Page from different directories and subdirectories i hope u got my question now...

For example if i wanted to go to this URL:

http://www.domainxyz.com/index.php?dir=/path/to/file/&file=myPage.php

You can re-direct to that page by using header(), but In your case I think you want to just display that page. In that case

[PHP]

<?php

$fileToOpen = $_GET['dir'] . $_GET['file']

if(file_exists($fileToOpen))
{
include($fileToOpen);
}
else
{
print("Sorry, This page does not exist");
}

?>


[/PHP]

Hope that helps. Good luck,
