$post = ''; # initialize it
if(isset($_POST['post'])) # see if it was sent via POST
{
$post = $_POST['post'];
}
elseif(isset($_GET['post'])) # see if it was sent via GET
{
$post = $_GET['post'];
}
if(!empty($post)) # we got it
{
switch($post)
{
case "t1":
echo "1";
break;
case "t2":
echo "2";
break;
default:
echo "bad";
}
}
else
{
echo "uh-oh, didn't get anything";
}
