How can PHP developers implement a clickable link system to display specific game matchups based on user selection?

To implement a clickable link system to display specific game matchups based on user selection, PHP developers can use a combination of HTML and PHP to dynamically generate the links. They can create an array of game matchups and their corresponding URLs, then iterate through the array to output clickable links based on the user's selection.

<?php
// Array of game matchups and their corresponding URLs
$gameMatchups = [
    'Game 1' => 'game1.php',
    'Game 2' => 'game2.php',
    'Game 3' => 'game3.php',
];

// Check if user has made a selection
if(isset($_GET['matchup'])){
    $selectedMatchup = $_GET['matchup'];
    if(array_key_exists($selectedMatchup, $gameMatchups)){
        $selectedURL = $gameMatchups[$selectedMatchup];
        echo "<a href='$selectedURL'>$selectedMatchup</a>";
    } else {
        echo "Invalid matchup selection";
    }
} else {
    // Output clickable links for each game matchup
    foreach($gameMatchups as $matchup => $url){
        echo "<a href='?matchup=$matchup'>$matchup</a><br>";
    }
}
?>
