You are cross-posting (sending the post seperately to multiple newsgroups).
Don't do that. Replied in alt.comp.lang.php.

Sorry, wasn't meant for you. To answer your question, yes it's possible:
When the menu contains a link like:
main.php?main=navigation
The code in main.php might look like this:
<?
$dir = "pages/";
if (isset($_GET['main'])) {
$filename = $dir.$_GET['main'].'php';
if (file_exists($filename)) {
include $filename;
exit;
}
}
include "{$dir}default.php";
?>
HTH,

Jan, you answered that to two separate posts. Actually, crossposting is OK;
multiposting is not.
Crossposting means that one message has two or more groups at the header,
and it gets visible in both groups. Multiposting is posting separate
messages, with same contents, on several groups.

I realized that as soon as I pressed the send button. Therefore, I
appologized to the OP of this thread.

No, you only have to change the structure. You will need only 1 main.php,
which can be used to include all existing files.
And, of course, you will have to set up the navigation links.
Security wise, it's recommended to validate each include file to see if it
resides in a specific directory. Otherwise, people would be able to see
files which they shouldn't.

Here is the code for my page...
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<head>
<title>Softek Designs - Helping your company reach the web</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<link href="base.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="sectiont">
<?php include ('content/misc/title.html'); ?>
</div>
<div class="content">
<?php include ('content/central.html'); ?>
</div>
<div class="sectionl">
<a href="index.php">Central</a>
<a href="about.php">About</a>
</div>
</body>
</html>
What do I need to do to get the about section, stored in
content/about.html, to be showed when the about link is clicked on?

<div class="content">
<?
if (isset($_GET['page']) &&
file_exists("content/{$_GET['page']}.html")) {
include "content/{$_GET['page']}.html";
} else {
include 'content/central.html';

?>
</div>
<div class="sectionl">
<a href="index.php">Central</a>
<a href="index.php?page=about">About</a>
