simple php question from none programmer

[frhs00]

I am wanting to do specific server side includes that are conditional on a variable.  I don’t know php, but looking for code to select a different server side include based on a variable.  I am looking for php code to fullfill the logic below:

 

<?

If varible=a

include ("stuffa.php");

else If varible=b

include ("stuffb.php");

else If varible=c

include ("stuffc.php");

else include ("stuffd.php");

?>

 

Thanks for your help,

 

David

<?php

if ($var == 'a') include "stuffa.php";
else if ($var == 'b') include "stuffb.php";
else if ($var == 'c') include "stuffc.php";
else include "stuffd.php";

?>

<?php
switch($variable){
    case a:
      //do stuff
    break;
    case b:
     //do stuff
    break;
    case c:
     //do stuff
    break;

    default:
    //default action
   break;
}
?>

Working from below, how would I define the $var, so it can run through the options?

Thanks,

David

 

<?php

 

if ($var == 'a') include "stuffa.php";

else if ($var == 'b') include "stuffb.php";

else if ($var == 'c') include "stuffc.php";

else include "stuffd.php";

 

?>

It all depends on where you want the variable coming from.

 

If the variable is coming from the URL, you would do

$var = $_GET['var'];
