<?php
switch($_GET[page]) {
default:
echo 'This is the homepage.';
break;
case 'downloads':
echo 'This is the downloads page, you can get to it with ?page=downloads';
break;
case 'contact':
echo 'This is the contact page, you can get to it with ?page=contact';
break;
};
?>Explanationswitch($_GET[page]) {This starts the switch. In this case, the switch is dependant on the $page variable that is found in the URL. default:
echo 'This is the homepage.';
break;This piece of code sets the default page. If the $page variable in the URL doesn't equal any of the cases, it'll show the default page. The "break;" is there to end that case. case 'downloads':
echo 'This is the downloads page, you can get to it with ?page=downloads';
break;This bit will make a new case called "downloads", so if the variable $page equals "downloads", it'll show this page. Again it has the "break;" at the end to end the case. case 'contact':
echo 'This is the contact page, you can get to it with ?page=contact';
break;Basically the same as above. };End the switch  You can also have switches inside switches, like this: <?php
switch($_GET[page]) {
default:
echo 'This is the homepage.';
break;
case 'downloads':
switch($_GET[category]) {
default:
echo 'Default category listings';
break;
case 'audio':
echo 'Audio downloads, accessed with ?page=downloads&category=audio';
break;
case 'games':
echo 'Game downloads, accessed with ?page=downloads&category=games';
break;
};
break;
case 'contact':
echo 'This is the contact page, you can get to it with ?page=contact';
break;
};

I used to use a similar method to this, but now I prefer the in_array and include method. Works best for me on larger projects, though this works fine on smaller ones.

so my site would essentiall be one file? Or does chris mean he uses like <?php
include_once('index.php');
?>for the case?

?>for the case? You give the appearance of it all being one file. This might be your entire index.php file: <?php
switch($_GET[page]) {
default:
echo 'This is the homepage.';
break;
case 'downloads':
echo 'This is the downloads page, you can get to it with ?page=downloads';
break;
case 'contact':
echo 'This is the contact page, you can get to it with ?page=contact';
break;
};
?>

Wow, it was a very small tutorial, but you can bet that I learned a whole lot of things from it.
