I am building links in the form of ...

<a href="http://mysite.com/?i=1">Link Text</a>

Which works fine with this simple switch statement ...

<?php
$var = $_GET['i'];
switch ($var) {
case 1:
include '1.php';
break;
case 2:
include '2.php';
break;
case 3:
include '3.php';
break;
default:
include 'notlost.php';
}
?>

I would like to simplify this statement so that it will operate faster, and I will not have to add a new switch statement each time I add a new page. I have tried ...

<?php
$var = $_GET['i'];
if ($var =='')
include 'notlost.php';
else
include "$var.php";
?>

It doesn't seem to work. I get a blank page when I try to use the if-else staement.

What have I messed up?
