how can i make it so....

[Anon]

hi,
well i am currently using this code:
"if (isset($a)) {
echo "<b>page a (blah)</b>";
}
else if (isset($b)) {
echo "<b>page b (blah)</b>";}
else echo "<b>Main Page</b>";"

I have a problame,
for page a, (say we are using 1.php) i would have to go to 1.php?a=1 how can i use different ends (as well as 1 so i can use 2 and 3 or words)
this would be a great help. thanxs

its kind of confusing. what do you mean by using different ends? you need to check $a for different values? then do somthing like:

if (isset($a)) {
switch ($a) {
case "1":
do_some_stuff();

break;
case "2":
do_some_stuff();

break;
case "foo":
do_some_stuff();

break;
default:
echo "value not accepted";
break;
}
}
else {
check_something_else():
}

that is exactly what i wanted thanxs

hmm, infact no, what u said didn't work, I am not sure wat to do, it is saying Parse error: parse error in /1.php on line 4
(that is do_some_stuff(); wat do i need to replace that with? echo? (i tried that but it wouldn't work (what i want is so instead of just going to: 1.php?a=1 I want to beable to use: 1.php?a=2 (with different content) and 1.php?a=foo (as well with different content)

yes, you need to replace do_some_stuff() with things you want to do when $a equals that particular value. like:

...
case "2":
echo "here goes action we do if a=2";
break;
case "foo":
echo "here goes action we do if a=foo";
break;
...

what do you need to do with those values?
