[Free] Content based on URL... not really sure how to describe this.

[MoreBloodWine]

index.php?page=lottery

Ok, that so that's a page address of one of my sites. I'd like to do something like this which I know is possible but don't recall how since it's been years since I've required this kind of set up.

I would like to do something like this, based on the URL.

This: index.php?page=lottery&players=current

Displays: Content A

AND

This: index.php?page=lottery&players=previous

Displays: Content B

all the while...

This: index.php?page=lottery

Displays: Original Content

-------

So can anyone help me out here, Ty in advance.

Edit: Would like this done in PHP vs something like JS.

Ty.

I can't seem to edit my post hence the new reply.

Anyway, this is what I'm trying to work with that doesn't seem to be working so it's not like I haven't tried, again, ty in advance for any help provided.

Code Select Expand

<?php

$players = $_GET['players'];
if (isset($players == 'current')) {
echo "Test A";
}
elseif (isset($players == 'previous')) {
echo "Test B";
}
else {
echo "Test C";
}

?>

Something like this, maybe?

Code Select Expand

if (!isset($_GET['lottery']))
return;

if (!isset($_GET['players']))
echo 'Test C';
elseif ($_GET['players'] == 'current')
echo 'Test A';
elseif ($_GET['players'] == 'previous')
echo 'Test B';
else
echo 'Test C'; //if a wrong "players" is entered, display the default action


Untested

Doesn't seem to be working.

Link: http://spend-ur-bits.com/index.php?page=lottery

Should Display: Test C

Link: http://spend-ur-bits.com/index.php?page=lottery&players=current

Should Display (Due to the addition of &players=current): Test A

Link: http://spend-ur-bits.com/index.php?page=lottery&players=previous

Should Display (Due to the addition of &players=previous): Test B

Yeah, it's wrong. OK let me fix it

edit: this works

Code Select Expand

<?php
if (!isset($_GET['page']))
return;
if ($_GET['page'] != 'lottery')
return;

if (!isset($_GET['players']))
echo 'Test C';
elseif ($_GET['players'] == 'current')
echo 'Test A';
elseif ($_GET['players'] == 'previous')
echo 'Test B';
else
echo 'Test C'; //if a wrong "players" is entered, display the default action
?>

That works, but when I replace the "test" stuff with the physical code that's actually supposed to be used on the page(s) it goes back to not working. Instead of posting my "live" code here, could I please PM you to have a look at the code ?

Ty in advance.

[margarett]

Yeah, sure

[MoreBloodWine]
