HTML extension help
Hey everyone,
I'm know the basics to HTML, but not that advanced. I'm working on a songlist in html (see this example: here [Note: I had to get the cached version, because the site is currently down]).
I was wondering how can you make a html extension such as this "song.html?song_type=-1&song_display=" ?
Do you need a database to accomplish this? Thanks in advance.

Everything after the ? is a variable. It works like this variablename=value.
It looks like that HTML file actually has PHP code that reads in the variable values, and knows to pull that song from somewhere. It is probably using a database.
What is the goal of your songlist? Are you trying to link to actual mp3 files on someone else's site, or what?
