[PHP] Why using this? When....

2002-03-25 Thread ...::: Rober2.com :::...

Hey!

What's really the meaning with
whatever.php?page=1 when you are NOT using a db?
Just cuz it looks cool? Or is there a better reason?

-Cuz you could do  instead of blabla.php?page=1
(having include('blabla.htm'); in a script in blabla.php...of course)

Thanks
