i've been looking for tutorials that show you how to make single file
websites using php and i haven't been lucky. does anyone know of any?

What do you mean by 'single file'?

I suspect you mean using dynamic overlays to avoid repeat round trips to
the server. php runs server side so you can't use it for such purposes.
You're stuck with javascript or flash.

hi sole,

sole was scribbeling:

if i understand correctly, the easiest way is:

index.php [untested code]
<?php
if(strpos($HTTP_GET_VARS['id'],'..')!==FALSE
||strpos($HTTP_GET_VARS['id'],'/')!==FALSE)
die("error: dir traversal");

include($HTTP_GET_VARS['id'].'.php');
?>

called: http://srv.domain.tld/path/to/index.php?id=home

will cause home.php to be returned as 'index.php'.

note:
- the first line in the above script does some basic dir-traversal
checking, but cannot be seen as secure.
- your approach does work, but is not recommendet, as you'll have
to manage the files to be included anyway

if this is the sort of thing you want, check out "skinny". It is
designed to be a "framework-in-a-file" light-weight solution to
developing xml/xslt applications.

can I ask what is the reason in particular that it has to be a single file?
