The name of that concept is a "variable". index.php?pg=1 means "call index.php and set the variable $pg to 1" Cheers Jon -----Original Message----- From: LRW [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 19 September 2001 21:04 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] preventing an include() from taking over? Unfortunately I just started teaching myself PHP like last weekend, and so far I only have include() and require() down pat. =) What in the php.net Manual is the concept of default function called? I see URL's all the time that end in something like index.php?pg=1 and I was hoping to learn what that is and why. If you could point me to the name of that concept, I'll chow down on self-teaching. =) Thanks!
