still if there are 2 or more choices to be made i always prefer switch

PHP Code:


			
$page = (isset($_REQUEST['page']))?$_REQUEST['page']:'';

switch($page)

{

 case 'x':

    //do this

   break;

 case 'xy':

   //do this

  break;

 default:

  //do this

  break;

}

this is easier to handle than if. i do not know how much execution time difference is in if and switch, however.
and also i prefer to be precise,, user $_GET for querystrings and user $_POST for post

i know $_REQUEST provides a wider range for script, as both methods can be used to do same thing, but, in that case post data can always be overridden by get data, unless get comes first and then post (which i presume is default). i also think cookies are included in $_REQUEST (no t sure), and if they are then again its the same problem

hope this helps
