I don't remember the basic syntax, but all you have to do is link to the page like href="index.php?something" then use $something in your script to include a txt file or whatever in that part of the page. Someone else can explain it better. I don't exactly remember.
Okay, found my old files. Just link like i said, href="$PHP_SELF?page", then add this php code in your site where you want to include the binary file to process:
<?php
include("./$page.php");
?>
So, if you link to href="$PHP_SELF?home", it will include the file "home.php", which is found in your root directory. If you don't know any php whatsover, this won't make much sense, but ask questions, I'll try to explain it.

index.php:
etc, etc...
you could store all you pages in another directory that no one knows exists [since it's embedded in the php output], then the php code would look like this:
so if domain.com is called, it'll parse/pages/home.php into index.php
if domain.com/?page=info is called, it'll parse/pages/info.php into index.php
if domain.com/?page=doink, etc... is called, it'll load /pages/error.php, your error page
the code hayama-kun typed above will work, but this code will avoid the default php error text that looks like crap.
PHP:
<html>
<head>
<title>My Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<?
// no variable value... your main page
if (!$page) {
include("home.php");
}
// if the variable is "info"
elseif ($page == "info") {
include("info.php");
}
// if the variable is "stats"
elseif ($page == "stats") {
include("stats.php");
}
// if all else fails, could be your "404 error" page
else {
include("error.php");
}
?>
</body>

they have a good tutorial and sample script selection. I found them to be quite usefully in making things such as page counters and such.

yeah, but if someone were to manually enter /index.php?page=asdf [or any variable not pre-defined], you get the generic php error text. it just keeps the site a lot neater and more professional looking in the example i gave.
but if you're lazy and want to give people the location of your site's server paths, be my guest.
Good idea, bad programming none the less. Later on, you use to learn switch() instead of if() { } elseif() { } else { }...
Code:
switch($page)
{
case '':
include('blah.html');
break;
case 'stats':
include('stats.html');
break;
case 'so on':
include('whateverotherpage.html');
break;
}
