Actually the static variables will be used to make the
query.
ie
I want these static variables to be used so that my
url can be transformed into a numeric reference for
the db query
> website.com/finance/
"finance" gets parsed out of URL to be used in where
condition
> $article_type = array("news" => 1,"opinion" =>
2,"finance" => 3);
$sql = "SELECT * FROM articles WHERE article_type =
'2'";
/* where condition will contain other criteria as well
(date/region) */
