Simple PHP script help, please :)

[DanC2k2]

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
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
  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.
