[Resolved] probably something quite simple

of course, I didn't have a backup, and when my site got hacked the other day, I couldn't remember my code on my site...

why is the following not working? I want to load pages using a switch, and for some reason, only my default loads on each click... here is my code:
($include is the path to my include directories)

<?php
	switch ($o) {
	default:
	include($o."$include/home.inc");
	break;
	case main:
	include($o."$include/home.inc");
	break;
	case family:
	include($o."$include/family.inc");
	break;
	}
?>

and here is the way that I am trying to invoke such a switch:

<a href="main.php?o=main" >[ home ]</a><br>
<a href="main.php?o=family" >[ family ]</a><br>
<a href="main.php?o=links" >[ links ]</a><br>
<a href="main.php?o=linux" >[ linux ]</a><br>

Hi. Perhaps try sticking the default at the end instead of at the beginning.

just tried... but same result, unfortunately. What is just as strange, the site loads in a web browser with the default page, but the address will show http://localhost/main.php?o=family , and so on... so the link is making it but the switch isn't "switching"

<?php
	switch ($o) {
	case "main":
	include($o."$include/home.inc");
	break;
	case "family":
	include($o."$include/family.inc");
	break;
	default:
	include($o."$include/home.inc");
	break;
	}
?>

using the following code fixed this:

<?php 
    switch($_GET['o']) { 
    case 'main': 
    include($o."$include/home.inc"); 
    break; 
    case 'family': 
    include($o."$include/family.inc"); 
    break; 
    default: 
    include($o."$include/home.inc"); 
    break; 
    } 
?>
