Is it possible in PHP to show something only if the URL is a certain way.
For example, if this url is flash.php I want to echo something. However, if the URL has a ? after it (flash.php?) or more (flash.php?id=1) I don't want to echo anything. Any ideas?
So basically only echo something if the page is flash.php, not anything else (flash.php?a=true).

What you could do is the following;
<?php
$id = $_GET['id'];
if(empty($id)){
$id = "Nothing";
}So that will say, if "ID" is empty, IE it doesn't exist it will be set to "Nothing" if it contains something it keeps that.
So flash.php?id=100 would set id to "100" and flash.php would set id to "Nothing".
Then you could add something like;
if ($id = "Nothing"){
include ("nothing.php"){
}else{
include ("$id");
}Syntax and code probably have problems, but you get the idea? :)

Thanks, but I want it the other way round. If id is empty, it includes something. Else it does nothing.

well, as a programmer, you now have all the details you need to do this yourself. please dont look for a handout. your inability to take a concept and modify it in SMALL ways to work to your satisfaction suggests that you lack the fundamental skills required of programmers.

This example works for what you want, you just need to code it in a certain way so it shows what you want.
if (sizeof( $_GET )){ // There is a ? in the URL

Thanks guys, i've got it working barring one problem.
The code is in the middle of a page, meaning I want to run the top part of the page, then the code, then the bottom part of the code. A mixture of HTML and PHP.
<?php
if (sizeof( $_GET )){
echo "id is on";
}
else {
echo "id is off";
}
?>
Thats what i've got, but yeah, it runs the by itself rather than that and the rest of the page. Any ideas?

Can you explain again please, I'm not 100% sure what you're on about.
Do you mean you want;
TOP HALF OF PAGE LOAD.
Code executed, echos either "id exists" or "Id doesn't exist"
BOTTOM HALF OF PAGE LOADS
Or do you want;
Code executed, echos either "id exists" or "Id doesn't exist"
If ID exists
TOP HALF OF PAGE LOADS
BOTTOM HALF OF PAGE LOADS
Which is it?

<body>
<div style="height:200px; width:400px; background-color:#FF9900;">
<?php

echo "id is on";
}
else {
echo "id is off";
}
?>
</div>
</body>
</html>That will load it in the middle of your page.
Now you can simply add stuff around it, understand?
It's simple :)

Just thought I should point out that sizeof just returns the size of the $_GET array. If something that ISN'T id is set it will return a value greater than 0, which equates to true.
If you want to see if only id is set use isset():
if (isset($_GET['id'])){
echo 'id is set';
}else{
echo 'id is not set';
}If you want it to only have certain $_GET elements, you'll need to combine sizeof and isset. Do a sizeof to make sure the correct number of $_GET elements is set, then test each one with isset().
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.
