Thank you for your help.
This should do nicely.

This is a common problem for people coming from other languages where the
file structures are the same as the execution structure.  A few of at least
50 answers is as follows;

Force the browser to invoke your next program;

If(1==a) {
        header("Location: this.php");
     exit;  //stop this script
}
If(1==b) {
     header("Location: that.php");
        exit;
}
If(1==c) {
        header("Location: other.php");
}

Another option would be to take advantage of conditional includes to bring
the code into the current script;

If(1==a) {
   include("this.php");
   exit;
}
If(1==b) {
        include("that.php");
        exit;
}
If(1==c) {
        include("other.php");
}

Include will issue a warning if executed and the file does not exist.
Require is fatal if executed and the file does not exist.
You can, of course use;

if(file_exists("this.php")) include("this.php");

to suppress any warning at all.

Hi,
I want program execution to go to one of several other files based on a decision.
For Example.

if (1==a)
  go to this .php file

if (1==b)
  go to that .php file

if (1==c)
  go to the other .php file

Thank you for your time.
