Php Page Switcher

[mahirharoon 0]

this is my first topic(not post)

i had posted it in another place

<?php $variable = $_GET['id'];switch($variable) {default: include('home.php'); break;case "guestbook": include('guestbook.php'); break;}?>

instructions:

case "guestbook": include([u]'guestbook.php'[/u]); break;

= change - guestbook.php to the page url

 

forum - change to your id (underlined) which will come in

index.php?id=[u]forum[/u]

$variable = $_GET['id'];

-change id to what you want here (underlined) index.php?id=123

I am thinking that the Code should read as follows so that the default case gets handled after the check for "id".

<?php$variable = $_GET['id'];switch($variable) {case "guestbook": include('guestbook.php'); break;default: include('home.php'); break;}?>

The Default case is a 'fall through' value. If there is not a 'break' for any other, correct, value, then the Default is applied.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks.

hellobut i think that the server first looks what first

I'm pretty sure 'default' is alway supposed to come last, because it has to check all the other values to know if it has the default. If you put the default first, it's not even going to check any of the cases.And it might be better to use the $_POST variable, instead of $_GET, because get shows in the URL. You can look it up, if you want. If you use get, you could do the same kind of thing with javascript, because I think you can get the variables from a method='get' with javascript, too. That way, it doesn't matter if you have PHP installed on the server, but it might matter what browser you're using.
