Creating links

[Unspoiled]

Hi guys, i'm making a system with linking like this:

<?php   
	$link=$_GET['page'];
        if ($link == '1'){
            include ('page.php');
        }
        if ($link == '1-1'){
           include ('page.php');
        }
        if ($link == '1-2'){
            include ('page.php');
        }
        if ($link == '1-3'){
            include ('page.php');
        }
		if ($link == '3'){
            include ('page.php');
        }
		if ($link == '4'){
            include ('page.php');
        }
		if ($link == '5'){
            include ('page.php');
        }
		if ($link == '6'){
            include ('page.php');
		}
		else{
			include_once ('pages/home.php');
		 }
?>

And at the end I have the 

else{
    include_once ('pages/home.php');
}

But I want to have the else statement for all the if statements, someone has a solution?

What are you trying to accomplish here? You're linking the same file in all cases. What is the point of all of those if statements?

[Barand]

if ($link == '1'){

   include ('page.php');

}

elseif ($link == '1-1'){

   include ('page.php');

}

elseif ($link == '1-2'){

    include ('page.php');

}

else {

    include ('home.php');

}


// alternatively


switch ($link) {

    case '1':   include ('page.php');

                break;

    case '1-1': include ('page.php');

                break;

    case '1-2': include ('page.php');

                break;

    default:    include ('home.php');

                break;

}

I just changed the names to page.php, in my real code it's different

 

 

if ($link == '1'){
   include ('page.php');
}
elseif ($link == '1-1'){
   include ('page.php');
}
elseif ($link == '1-2'){
    include ('page.php');
}
else {
    include ('home.php');
}

// alternatively

switch ($link) {
    case '1':   include ('page.php');
                break;
    case '1-1': include ('page.php');
                break;
    case '1-2': include ('page.php');
                break;
    default:    include ('home.php');
                break;
}

This solved it, used the elseif

For what it's worth, you could avoid all the elseifs and cases by creating an array of possible values...and then testing for the existence of a value. For example:

<?php
$pageReferences = array(
    '1'   => 'page.php',
    '1-1' => 'page.php',
    '1-2' => 'page.php'
);
 
$link = $_GET['page'];
if(isset($pageReferences[$link])){
    include $pageReferences[$link];
} else {
    include 'home.php';
}
?>
