extract data from URL

[learnPHP]

I have a page which needs to be loaded. The page has the following URL

http://localhost/FAO_test/firms_WEB/subscribe.php?n ext=1&mode=add& email=&node=1

or something like this.

What i want is the value of "next" which is = 1 here.

I actually want this value before the page is displayed that is as soon as a user is directed to this page i want to know the value of next so that depending on its value i can display the right contents.

Can you please let me know how i can achieve this??

Have you heard of GETing the params?

Pretty basic stuff.

[php]
$_next = @$_GET['next'];

switch($_next)
{
case 1:
code to be executed if $_next is == 1;
break;

case 2:
code to be executed if $_next is == 2;
break;

// you get the idea
}
[/php]
