Re: Passing arguments to the same script

what abou using action=questions instead of questions=1, then you can use array: $links=array('questions'=>"Questions link content will go here",

                    'samples'=>"Samples link content will go here", ................

echo $links[$_GET['action']] this would be neater. Troy May wrote:

Thanks for responding. I think I'm still doing something wrong. Take a peek: if(isset($_GET['questions'])) {

         echo "Questions link content will go here";

} elseif(isset($_GET['samples'])) {

         echo "Samples link content will go here";

} elseif(isset($_GET['rates'])) {

         echo "Rates link content will be here";

} elseif(isset($_GET['contact'])) {

         echo "Contact information will go here.";
           } else {

echo "Main content goes here."; } The only thing that EVER gets displayed is the final else. (Main content goes here.) What am I doing wrong?

I'm sure this is easy, but I'm drawing a blank. I need to have links

at

the bottom of the page that passes arguments to the same script (itself)

when

it gets reloaded. How do we do this? I have the links like this now: <a href="index.php?samples"> How do I determine what is passed? I need to do an "if" statement

with

different outputs depending on the argument. if ($samples) { do something }

if(isset($_GET['samples'])) { do something } ---John Holmes...
