Hello there......I have a huge problem and have no idea how to sort it

I use a switch statement on my index.php page to display each of my pages (only some of them are shown to save space)

PHP: Select all

 <?php
 
switch ($_GET['page'])
{
 
case "contact":
include('contact.php');
break;
case "news":include('news.php');break;
default:
include('home.php');
}
?>

I have a pagination script to display a set number of record per page. The first page displays ok showing http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=newsitem but when i click on the next link it defaults back to the default page http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=home (obviuosly because the switch statement isn't set up to handle it)
The link that appears in the browser window is http://www.mysite.com/index.php?page=newsitem?limit=2&page=2 but the default page is displayed.

How do I sort this problem out? Do I need to use nested switch and if so how do I do it.

The pagination script I am using is from http://www.allsyntax.com/tutorials/P...with-PHP/2.php

I am sure if I didn't use the switch statement it would work but it seems very inefficient (been doing visual basic for the last 2 years at college).

I have seen t done in dozens of websites including how google does it searches and need to know how to do it.

Please help as I'm tearing my hair out here
