How can PHP developers differentiate between multiple links on a page to include different PHP files?
PHP developers can differentiate between multiple links on a page by passing a parameter in the URL to indicate which PHP file to include. This parameter can be retrieved using the $_GET superglobal array in PHP. By checking the parameter value, developers can include the appropriate PHP file based on the link clicked by the user.
<?php
// Check the parameter value in the URL
if(isset($_GET['page'])) {
$page = $_GET['page'];
// Include the corresponding PHP file based on the parameter value
switch($page) {
case 'home':
include 'home.php';
break;
case 'about':
include 'about.php';
break;
case 'contact':
include 'contact.php';
break;
default:
include 'error.php';
}
} else {
include 'home.php'; // Default page to include
}
?>
