Re: [PHP] preventing an include() from taking over? From: LRW (liam <email protected>)
Date: 09/19/01

Unfortunately I just started teaching myself PHP like last weekend, and so
far I only have include() and require() down pat. =)
What in the php.net Manual is the concept of default function called? I see
URL's all the time that end in something like index.php?pg=1 and I was
hoping to learn what that is and why.
If you could point me to the name of that concept, I'll chow down on
self-teaching. =)
Thanks!
Liam
