switch page template based on what navigaton link user clicks

I was wondering what the best way would be to set up/write a script that would lay information out differently based on where a user navigated to, using php and mysql.  I can't have all the information laid out identically for every page/category. (not every page will be different)  But for some pages I may need data displayed in 2 columns, others 3 and most just 1.  Is there some way to do this?

I would use a $_GET variable that carries a variable for the different layouts.

ex: index.php?layout=1

 

You can now use $_GET['layout'] to decide where you want to go from there. this is also a link friendly version of moving variables around because you can code your links like:

<a href="mypage.php?layout=3" />

 

happy coding
