your question doesnt make any sense to me... let me try and help though... I would set up a file like this:

$arr_request = array();
if (count($HTTP_GET_VARS)) {
while (list($key, $value) = each ($HTTP_GET_VARS)) {
$arr_request[$key] = $value;
}
}

if (count($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
while (list($Key, $value) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
$arr_request[$key] = $value;
}
}

call it common.inc or something. Include it on your index.php3 file right in the beginning. Then later on in the script, instead of saying if($id == news) say if($arr_request['id'] == 'news') or whatever. Basically, instead of referring to your querried variables as $id or $page, you need a script like that so the browser passes the url to an array. You can always refer to the array as $arr_request['var']

hope this helps

for more explaination, just email me or something orbit3d@orbit3d.com.

Luqman - we really do need a bit more info of you - chiller2 is correct that your query string syntax is wrong it should be index.php3?id=pictures&page=2 - otherwise id will have a value of 'pictures?page=2' or nothing at all.

Otherwise your code is fine.

rpgswap.com - sorry but your code while good - just slows things down in this situation, you end up with an ASP like routine of having to request the variable, past of the beauty of PHP is the fact that you can test for a post/url variable purely by <?if($var)?> - why make it more complex?

Do not get me wrong I use a similar routine for checking form vars on long forms - but mainly as an aid to myself. see http://www.firepages.com.au/howfor/post_var.htm

What you are doing is right.but what is "page=2"?.

Do you mean 'page 2 of news' or 'page 2 of pics' ?.
