Retrieving dynamic content with query strings

Hi everyone, im quite new to PHP and i used to use ASP and in ASP i could use this script to retrieve multiple dynamic content from one particular page with different query strings:


<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p><a href="default.asp?">default</a></p>
<p><a href="default.asp?page=1">page 1</a></p>
<p><a href="default.asp?page=2">page 2</a></p>
<p><a href="default.asp?page=3">page 3</a></p>
<%
If Len(Request.QueryString("page"))=0 Then
%>
You are on the default page
<%
Elseif Request.QueryString("page")="1" Then
%>
You are on page 1
<%
Elseif Request.QueryString("page")="2" Then
%>
You are on page 2
<%
Elseif Request.QueryString("page")="3" Then
%>
You are on page 3
<%
End If
%>
<body>
</html>

I was wondering if you could do this with PHP?
or convert it to PHP?
I know that in PHP you could redirect to another page with query strings but i would like to have as little pages as possible and keep the information on one page istead of multiple pages.

I appreciate your help, Thank you

if($_GET['page']==1) {
// do stuff
}

Oh, and welcome to WebmasterWorld!

Ohh i get it so its something like this, which i have tried and worked, thanks for your help Nick_W:


<html> 
<head> 
</head> 
<body> 
<p><a href="default.php?page=1">page 1</a></p> 
<p><a href="default.php?page=2">page 2</a></p> 
<p><a href="default.php?page=3">page 3</a></p> 
<?php 
$page=$_GET['page']; 
switch($page) { 
case "1" :?> 
you are on page 1 
<?php break; case "2" :?> 
you are on page 2 
<?php break; case "3" :?> 
you are on page 3 
<?php break; default:?> 
you are on the default page 
<?php }?>
<body> 
</html>

ASP and PHP are so similar~!
