Is it possible to shorten a URL such as this www.jayweddings.co.uk/link....pper=custom-detailswrapper

I read somewhere in the manual about adding a bit of PHP, but it doesnt say where to add it and what to actually do in the templates.

OK I shortened it a bit by using

<?php
$custom = 'yes';
$TID = 'fulldetails1';
require 'link.php';
?>

In a file named weddingservicedetials.php

I call this by using... www.jayweddings.co.uk/weddingservicedetails.php?action=detail&id={LINKID}&customwrapper=custom-detailswrapper

How can i call the custom wrapper using that new php file?

I got round this by adding <!-- usewrapper=no --> to the custom template, and adding the wrapper html into the custom template.
