Referencing section of php code - php

Question

I have the following PHP code on my site which basically accesses a PHP script that pulls out information from a mysql table;
<?php include('event_connect.php'); ?>
Is it possible to include a reference to a specific section of code in this script?
Basically I have to create 39 different scripts for individual dropdown e.g. in the "XXX" drop down, only records with an identifier "xxx" will show up.
What i thought would be easier than createing 39 scripts is (if possible) just add some sort of reference value to the above code depending on where in the page it is placed. Kind of like how VBA allows you to call a selected function from another...
Edit: This is the PHP i use to access the mysql database, with the code provided by niet added in - works a treat! Thank you.
<?php
//Get te CSS styling
// Make a MySQL Connection
mysql_connect("xxxx", "xxxx", "xxxx", "xxxx") or
die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("xxxx") or die(mysql_error());
// Retrieve all the data from the "xxxx" table
switch($section) {
case 1:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `Events_List` WHERE `Value` = 'value_1' LIMIT 0 , 30") or die(mysql_error());
break;
case 2:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `Events_List` WHERE `Value` = 'value_2' LIMIT 0 , 30") or die(mysql_error());
break;
// store the records of the "xxxx" table into $row array and loop through
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) { $name = $row['name'];
$Event = $row['Event'];
$Date = $row['Date'];
$Type = $row['Type'];
$Description = $row['Description'];
$Event = htmlspecialchars($row['Event'],ENT_QUOTES);
$Date = htmlspecialchars($row['Date'],ENT_QUOTES);
$Type = htmlspecialchars($row['Type'],ENT_QUOTES);
$Description = htmlspecialchars($row['Description'],ENT_QUOTES);
echo " <div id='ev_con'>
<div id='ev_img'> </div>
<div id='Event'> $Event </div>
<div id='Date'> $Date </div>
<div id='Type'> $Type </div>
<div id='Description'> $Description </div>
</div>";}
?>
This runs one query fine, but having trouble getting multiple queries running..

Answer 1

Maybe something like this?
$section = 1;
include("event_connect.php");
And in your event_connect file:
switch($section) {
case 1:
// do things
break;
case 2:
// do other things
break;
// ...
}

Answer 2

how about...
function get_event_connect($eventID){
switch($eventID){
case "1" :
// output code
break;
case "2" :
//output code
break;
}
}
$eventID = "1";
echo get_event_connect($eventID);
