Simple PHP script help, please :)

I know this is a pretty simple question but this is all I want.

here goes, I want a script in php that if I put say:

www.myhost.com/myscript.php?character=1

it would come up with a page with info about character 1 (for a game site) but if I put :

www.myhost.com/myscript.php?character=2

it brings up a different page with info about character 2.


and so on.

Can anyone either make this script or send me somewhere that can tell me how to do it...

Thanks

PHP Code:

---

<?php
if $_REQUEST[character] == "1"){
print ("page1");
}
elseif $_REQUEST[character] == "2"){
print("page2");
}
else{
print("<a href=\"myscript.php?character=1\">Page 1</a><br>");
print("<a href=\"myscript.php?character=2\">Page 1</a><br>");
}
?>

There are many ways to do this, this is the simplist example I can think of.

PHP Code:

---

<?php
  if (!isset($_REQUEST['character'])) $_REQUEST['character'] = "";
  switch ($_REQUEST['character']) {
    case 1:
      // character 1 selected for viewing
    break;
    case 2:
      // character 2 selected for viewing
    break;
    default:
      // no character selected for viewing
  }
?>

It is much easier if you have all the characters in a database b/c then you can just query the database for the information instead of outputting it by hand.
