Hello all,

Im trying to create a page that will display content based off of the variable join- in the URL

for instance

we have a page called join.php. its just a Template file with no content in it.

i want to display the content by using a varibale

so if the URL variable of join=1 i wanna drop join1.html into that page tempate and if its join=2 i wanna display join2.html in that template.

iv seen referances to this

<php
$join_code = $_request["join"];
if($join_code == 1) {
OPTION 1
}... and so on

but not sure if thats what i need to how to implement it.

can some one please help

thank you
Steve

    The way I do it look quiet like yours.

    I always pass a variable like you (ex. index.php?id=1). The only difference is that I use $_GET["id"] to get the page.

    Than, I use a switch case

    switch($_GET["id"]);
{
 case "1":
   include("page1.html");
 break;
 case ...
}

        not sure if are asking the if your test case was an actual "#2" or just a second case....but here they both are...

        switch($_GET["id"])
{
 case "1":
   include("page1.html");
 break;
 case "#2":
   include("page2.html");
  break;
}

        or if you were just wondering how to do the second case statement:

        switch($_GET["id"])
{
 case "1":
   include("page1.html");
 break;
 case "2":
   include("page2.html");
  break;
}

        should work...

          One edit to the code. I don't think you need the ";" after the swtich($GET["id"])

            no need the ";" sorry 😉

              Thank you Very much, that worked Great!

                OK, I know that working through the switch issue is resolved, but I got here late, and wanted to throw this into the ring... It sounds like your case compares match the page numbers of your files anyhow, so you really wouldn't need a switch/case set anyhow.

                All you would need to do is this:

                IF(file_exists("page".$_GET['id'].".html")){
   include("page".$_GET['id'].".html");
} else {
   echo "page".$_GET['id'].".html does not exist!";
}
