oha055 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Hi! I am making a website from scratch to try to learn some basic PHP. Up untill recently I have made separate .php files for each part of my website (index.php, about.php, blog.php etc.) and just linked to these pages in HTML. I know there are better ways of doing this, so that I don't need to make as many separate pages. Something like just using PHP functionality to show different content on the same site, depending on which button is clicked. I don't want you to write any code for me, but if someone could point me in the right direction that would be great! . Any links to tutorials are also very welcome ! regards, Øyvind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far Cry Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Thank you! Btw, does anyone know of a good PHP book for learning about this topic? I'm looking at amazon.com and there are so many PHP books to choose from.. I have a PHP 5 book, and honestly, I hate it. I find it easier to learn by looking around on the Internet, (here more specifically). Books are sometimes hard to understand. That's just me.
