Hi Jason,
<?php
switch ($_REQUEST['username'])
{
case 'student' :
include('student_script.php');
break;
case 'supervisor' :
include('supervisor_script.php');
break;
}
?>
Better is to use $_POST if your form's method="post" or $_GET if your form's
method="get"
As long as the user type is available to the new page through a form
variable, or request string like newpage.php?username=student, you can
access it using $_REQUEST/$_GET/$_POST
Take care,
Greg
