$_get | changing a page

[prc]

is it possible to change a page eg.

http://www.domain.com/index.php?page=home

what is the best way of doing this? would the code be similar to this:

<?PHP $page = $_GET['page'];
if ($page = 'home'){

include("home.php");

}else{

include("error.php");

} ?>

Thy this

<?PHP $page = $_GET['page'];
switch ($page) {
case "news":
    include "includes/news.php";
    break;
case "user":
    include "includes/user.php";
    break;
case "pm":
    include "includes/pm.php";
    break;
case "register":
    include "includes/register.php";
    break;
default:
	include "includes/news.php";
    break;
}

Another way would be to create an array of valid page names, and then include based on that:

$pages = array("news", "user", "pm", "register");
if (isset($_GET['page']) && in_array($_GET['page'], $pages)) {
	include "includes/" . $_GET['page'] . ".php";
} else {
	include "includes/news.php";
}
