ok, i know how to use the basic if statements, but this is what im trying to so i wanna know if its possible, i got this site, im trying to make it never leave index.php by making ALL content dynamic, so right now i got its like index.php?cat=3&page=1 i have the different menus for each category. can i use a if statement to show the different menus? the idea i got is i can do something like this. if cat=3 then echo "code for table here"; would it even be possible? cause this way looks to be sloppy. maybe righting functions, but ive never done that.

I would suggest using includes rather than echoing, this will be more organized in the long run. And I would use a switch statement rather than an if for this situation:
<?
switch ($cat) {
case 0:
include("cat0_menu.php");
break;
case 1:
include("cat1_menu.php");
break;
case 2:
include("cat2_menu.php");
break;
}
?>

i answered my own question. now i ran into a little problem. i have the page load with default values for cat and page. the switch dont load those...
the c_a="1"; and the p_a="3"; those are the defaults. if i type them into the address it works fine. how can i make so it loads right. take a look.
http://www.ask4tech.net/ask.php this loads the default. the content will load, but no navigation on left
http://www.ask4tech....hp?cat=1&page=3 this will load everything.
<?php
$c_a = "1";
if (isset($_GET['cat'])) {
$c_a = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_GET['cat'] : addslashes($_GET['cat']);
}
$p_a = "3";
if (isset($_GET['page'])) {
$p_a = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_GET['page'] : addslashes($_GET['page']);
}
mysql_select_db($database_conn, $conn);
$query_a = sprintf("SELECT * FROM site WHERE catID = %s AND pageID = %s", $c_a,$p_a);
$a = mysql_query($query_a, $conn) or die(mysql_error());
$row_a = mysql_fetch_assoc($a);
$totalRows_a = mysql_num_rows($a);
?>

You can end a swtich statement with the default: case and thereby catch whatever your final, default case is (i.e. anything not handled by the previous cases). Much cleaner than a series of IF statements. Though not as clean as just looking up the ID in your database, or numbering the files to include to correspond with the IDs.
