[SOLVED] Using switch to show different pages doesn't work

[Gazan]

Hey experts, i'm having this issue with switch..

 

It's just that, i use it to show different pages. Etc. www.url.com?show=gallerypage, www.url.com?show=contactpage. I want to show some content by default, if none of the above options are chosen. My code are as follow:

 

$page = $_GET['page'];

switch ($page) {

case 'contactpage':
echo "This is the contact page.";
break;

case 'gallerypage':
echo "This is the gallery page':
break;

default:
echo "This is the frontpage.";
break;

}

 

with this i want to make it like, if there has not been chosen a $page then it shows the default "This is the frontpage." But how do i make it work like that?

That is how you do it.  What exactly happens?  Have you echoed $page to see what's actually in it?

 

Should it be $page=$_GET['show']; ?

 

Simple tutorial

Yeah, thats what i'd like. Like, the links in the menu will be as i've typed with www.url.com/index.php?show=example. But when i go onto the page (www.url.com/index.php) it shall show some content as default, and then when you click some of the menu links, it will go to one of the switch options with the matching value.

 

EDIT:

 

I get the following error "no index defined" with the script..

$page = isset($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : "default";

Thanks alot! Solved the problem

Thanks alot! Solved the problem

 

YW, it was because $_GET['page'] wasn't even set so there was no value to even give $page and the switch didn't know what to do and threw an exception.

 

Please mark as solved.

Yeah, i see that now.. I'd love to but, somehow i don't have access to do so.. :s

It's the tab called [sOLVED] in the bottom right.
