If you're referring to the phpbrowsingswitch.php page, here is how I would do it:

<?php
switch ($command) {
case test:
$title = "test page";
$body = "test.html";
break;
case action:
$title = "action page";
$body = "action.html";
break;
default:
echo "Invalid Option";
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo $title; ?></title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
include("$body");
?>
</body>
</html>

Then call phpbrowsingswitch.php?command=action.......

Good point. I like your example. I was merely showing that SWITCH is a good way to do things. We can beef up security and stuff, but I think people don't use SWITCH as much as they could. I've seen code with more IF statements than you can shake a stick at......

We could also reset $body to "" at the beginning of the script, and then go from there.....
