Right, you will help me.

In the div you will have your content in, insert the following PHP code:

<?php
   $page = $_GET['p'];
   if(!isset($page))
   {
      include("main.php");
   }
   elseif(file_exists("". $page . ".php"))
   {
      include("" . $page . ".php");
   }
   else
   {
      print("The page <b>" . $page . ".php</b> does not exist.");
   }
?>

Create a page called main.php and insert all you default introduction text which will be shown if a page isn't selected.
You're links will look like:

<a href="index.php?p=about">About</a>
<a href="index.php?p=news">News</a>
<a href="index.php?p=staff">Staff</a>

And so on.
(Create an .php file for each one though with the content within it).

For an customized error page you would replace

      print("The page <b>" . $page . ".php</b> does not exist."); 

with

      include("exist.php"); 

with the exist.php file contained your customized error page to be shown .

Could tidy up the php a bit man lol, i'd use an array to show what pages are allowed to be access etc.

<?php
$pages = array (     'homepage'     => 'pages/home.php',
                    'news'        => 'pages/news.php',
                    'god'        => 'pages/godjames.php'
                    );

if ( $pages[ $_GET[ 'page' ] ] != '' )
{
    include_once ( $pages[ $_GET[ 'page' ] ] );
}
elseif ( $_GET[ 'page' ] == '' )
{
    include_once ( $pages[ 'homepage' ] );
}
else
{
    echo ( 'Sorry, that page doesn\'t exist' );
}
?>

haven't really tested it, but its a basic outline etc.

Your way is far more secure and efficient but it's quite annoying having to keep updating everytime you make a new page lol .

[Protege]

Better to be safe than sorry though

[Janczyk]

I'm in agreement about making a new page and is the one you did Shane secure enough?

I mean as in, you load say about.php inside the main div that you put that code in?

Would I have to copy index.php again into about.php or just the content and that content will load up in the main div?

Sorry if I haven't explained very well.
