I have noticed that when some people use links, they type in something like this *index.php?view=Ranks* or something like that. Can you tell me how to use the little addons that go after the .php?
Or point me toward a good tutorial on the subject?

Unless you are using POST requests in forms, you can access it with the $_GET array. With the ranks example:

CODE

<?php
if ($_GET['view'] == 'Ranks')
{
// display the ranks page
}
else
{
// other code goes here
}
?>

You may have to use $_POST instead of $_GET if you're using the POST method to submit data.

the only way to use method POST is using FORM?

The method GET can be used like a simple link, didn't it?

I'm not sure what's your mean
But if you wanna get parameters that after ".php?", you should use $_GET

You don't need a $_GET to pass parameters, or a form, you can use a simple link like this:

CODE

<a href="results.php?criteria=searchField=A">Title with A</a>
<a href="results.php?criteria=searchField=B">Title with B</a>
<a href="results.php?criteria=searchField=C">Title with C</a>

And then, the results.php page:

CODE

<?php
          ...
          $_connection
           ...
?>
<head>
<title>Books!</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$sql = "SELECT * FROM books WHERE $_REQUEST[criteria] like '$_REQUEST[searchField]%' ORDER BY title";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
if (mysql_num_rows($result))
{
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo '<strong>'.$row["title"].'</strong>;
}
}
else
      echo 'No records were found!';
?>
</body>
</html>

It works for me!
