Need help on the Switch function

[Anon]

Can someone tell me what's wrong with this code? I get a parse error on line 2.

<? php
switch ($page) {
default:
include('news.php');
break; case "news":
}
?>

What are you trying to do? A switch statement should look like this:

switch($variable)
{
case "hello":
print "hello and welcome";
break;
case "goodbye"
print "goodbye, come back soon";
break;
default:
print "whatever";
break;
}

I think the default statment should come last.

Im trying to use to switch function to organize my links. So for example, my news page would be www.mysite.com/index.php?page=news when someone would click the link.
