[Resolved] Includes and If statements

[skeetley]

I have a page mydomain.com that by default does

<?php 
 {include("events.inc");}
?> 

Now this page is dynamically generated. The entries that come up are links. example: mydomain.com/index.php?event_id=34

I also want to have links to other static pages, but just change the events.inc part to something else. Like a href=mydomain.com/index.php?insertrecord
(if this is the best way to even do that)

So I need mydomain.com page to do something like this

<?php
if (mydomain.com/index.php?event_id=??){include event.inc;}
if (mydomain.com/index.php?insertrecord){include insert.inc;}
else {include events.inc;}

How do I do something like this?

You could pass it through the link and retrieve it using $_GET like here

so something like this would work passing a variable with a number
<a href="example.php?confirm=3">

on example.php, $_GET['confirm'] = 3

if ($_GET['confirm']==3){include ('blah.php');}

//or use a switch

switch($_GET['confirm']){

case '3': 
   //use '3' because i think it's stored as a string until 
//assigned to another variable...otherwise you could use 3
      include ('blah.php');
      break;
      default:  include ('main.php');
}

That idea works if I could always use confirm=3 or confirm =4 etc.

I could do something like this

if (!$GET['event_id'] || $GET['event_id'] == "") include events.inc
else include event.inc

But I need something like

if ($GET['event_id']) include event.inc
if ($GET['confirm']) include confirm.inc
if ($_GET['insert']) include insert.inc
else include event.inc

I can't seem to get something like this to work though.
Unless i am totally missing something.

Sweet, it just started working. Thanks for the ideas.
