I want one php file with all games?

[camzenxbt]

Hi there,

I'm currently building a flash-based games website and on a different games website I have seen something like this: game.php?id=11 and I have never known how this is done?.

I would like to do this as it would save me time having to make multiple pages for the games.

How is this done?, does it require a database to be done (I'm not botherd if it does, just wondering if it requires one).

Many thanks for any replies!.

In its most generic way, it would work like this:

<?php
switch ($_GET['id'])
{
case 1:
// run game 1
break;
case 2:
// run game 2
break;
default:
echo "no game specified";
}
?>

Here is another way of doing it.

if (isset($_GET['x']))
{
    $x = explode(':', $_GET['x']);

    switch($x[0])
    {
        case 'game1':
            game1();
        break;

                case 'game2':
            game2();
        break;
        
  }
}

else { menu(); } 

So if the script was called menu.php and you go to that, it will load the menu function. To get to the others, you use this menu.php?x=game1

Thank you for replying!.

So can I use this for as many games as I want? Can I make more cases like case 3 and case 4 and so on?.
