// or example I have some link: <a href='index.php?action=people'>About people</a> // so this function will output the content of people.txt file: if ($action=="people"){ function output() { $file = file("data/people.txt"); foreach($file as $value ) { $output .= "$value<br>"; } return $output; } $content = output(); }else{ error (); } // How can I improve this function so, that it will work automaticly with other links (below) too. <a href='index.php?action=industry'>Factories</a> <a href='index.php?action=art'>Beautiful pictures</a> <a href='index.php?action=animals'>Zoo</a> <a href='index.php?action=contact'>Contact us</a> P.S. I have tried to improve If tag and the name of .txt file this way: if ($action=="$action"){ function output() { $file = file("data/".$action.".txt"); .. but the syntax is incorrect. What to do? Thanks, Roman
