PHP URL Problem

Question

I have a question in PHP.

I have a website thats hold news from mysql the (title, date, author, description) everything works fine, I have a page when which the user click on the title he go readmore.php?id=10 (for example)

Now my question is how to make to read the full story in one single page

for example index.php?id=10, I don't want to send in the readmore.php page, I want in one single page, how can I make this ?

Yes right, when I click I can read but the other news stay in the top of my full story, can you understand? — Tonny

check there is **id** querystring .
if(isset($_GET["id"]))
{
     // show news which belongs to **id**
}
else
{
     // list all news
}

But don't forgot validating $_GET["id"] variable. For example, if ids only numeric, you can check use *is_numeric();* etc.

It really depends on your current scripts but maybe you can modify the readmore.php page to only send the body of the page and then require ("readmore.php"); in your index.php where you need the full story, if the parameter (id) is the same. Then you can use something to show/hide the full body of the news in a div, in example.

maybe you could send a get variable like: index.php?id=10&full=1. So, if full == 1 in index.php yo can show all the news, else cut the news with substr()

url like so:

index.php <- normal news page
index.php?readstory=10 <- will display story with id 10

in index.php

if(isset($_GET['readstory'])) {
  $story_id = $_GET['readstory'];
  display_story($story_id);
}
else {
  display_news();
}

can you write the functions (display_story) and (display_news)

No, that's the php code you'll run to render your story or your normal index page :)
