Why not just use one php page, index.php, and use SSI, so all pages would
be...

http://www.blahblah.com/index.php?page=whatever

Like:

<?php
if (isset($_GET['page'])) {
$request = $_GET['page'];

if ($request == "main") { include("main.php"); }
else if ($request == "faq") { include("faq.php"); }
else { include("main.php"); }

} else { include("main.php"); }

?>


With that, you can staticly define what pages exist. Followed by the first
'else', if the page doesn't exist it loads up 'main.php' in to the page. Or
if the ?page=whatever is missing, it loads up main.php.

How about using the POST instead of the GET variables,.. and read a menu
from xml or soomthing like that,..

anyways it's a php issue,.. apache will NOT do POSTS etc for you in this
way to have only "seemingly" one page

apache does not handle menu structures for you.
