I have a document entitled: articles.php
Within this document, I want to store various written articles which are headed by a
string value - example:
$post_040905 = "text for April 9th 2005";
print($post_040905);
$post_041005 = "article for April 10th 2005";
print($post_041005);
That's a _really_ bad idea. It is better to store all of them in a
database (MySQL is a simple one and works perfectly with PHP) ordered by
an id. So the script can take a numerical argument ID which will hold
the ID of the text which shall be shown. The argument can be passed as a
GET variable (script.php?variable=value&second=second_value) and you can
get it with $_GET['variable_name']. Take a better look here
http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php#reserved.variables.get
. However don't forget to filter than input argument first, to prevent
SQL Injections :
$id = $_GET['id'];
if($id == strval(intval($id))) { /* Okay, do the query */ }
else die('Looser !');
Hope this helps,
