Not that difficult when you think about it and RTFM.

if($_GET['page']=='links')
{ // Do links stuff
}
elseif($_GET['page']=='contact')
{ // Do contact stuff
}

Etc. If you're feeling really adventurous you could use switch statements and include files.

<html>
<head>
<title>Test page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1><a href="?page=links">Links</a> :: <a href="?page=contact">Contact</a></h1>
<?php

if($_GET['page']=='links') 
{ 
   // Do links stuff 
   echo "Welcome to my links!";
} 
elseif($_GET['page']=='contact') 
{ // Do contact stuff 
   echo "please contact me thru my email";
}

?>

</body>
</html>
