How to pass the href variable to the switch case? - php

Question

I have four links which are redirected on the same page only there variables are different for. So:
Square
Circle
Triangle
Rectangle
I want to write a switch case to pass the href variables so, that if the type is square, it should alert me, that it is a square and similarly for the others using jquery.

Answer 1

Hope your page is .php page
$optArr = array('Square','Circle','Triangle','Rectangle');
foreach($optArr as $opt)
{
echo "".$opt."";
}

Answer 2

You said all four links will redirect to the same page, but it shows tab1.php, tab1.php, tab2.php, and tab3.php. Anyway, you can do this:
Square
Circle
Triangle
Rectangle
tab1.php
<?php
$type = $_GET['type'];
switch ($type) {
case "square": echo "Square"; break;
case "circle": echo "Circle"; break;
case "triangle": echo "Triangle"; break;
case "rectangle": echo "Rectangle"; break;
default: echo "None";
}
?>

Answer 3

In PHP, you can do it like this,
if(isset($_GET['type'])){
$type = $_GET['type']; // get the type from the url
switch($type){
case 'square':
echo 'square';
break;
case 'circle':
echo 'square';
break;
case 'triangle':
echo 'square';
break;
case 'rectangle':
echo 'square';
break;
default:
echo 'not';
}
}
