title: How to include page with $_GET function & htaccess linking?
body: <p>Currently developing a website and am wondering how to include pages into the main index (to only change a certain areas content and not the whole page) using the $_Get function.</p>
  
  <p>Files would be something like index.php (where content pages are included), news.php (default page display on index), members.php, about.php, guides.php, downloads.php, sponsors.php etc.</p>
  
  <p>I believe (if i remember correctly) linking with the $_Get method usually looks something like this index.php?pid=about</p>
  
  <p>I would also like to find out how I can change the link (via htaccess?) to link as follows: www.mywebsite.com/about/ instead of mywebsite.com/index.php?pid=about</p>
  
  <p>It has been some time since I have done any PHP and do not remember how the above things are done exactly.</p>
