creating first dynamic page

[chriskq]

i have one php page called states.php

within states.php there are many subpages Eg: states.php?nsw and states.php?qld

how do i create such a page where the content is broken up into sections by php vars.

http://www.example.com/states.php?page=nsw

<?php

if($_GET['page'] == "nsw"){
     // "nsw" content; with the url above, this content is what the user would see
}elseif($_GET['page'] == "qld"){
     // "qld" content
}else{
     // default content (if there is no valid page id in url)
}

?>

really basic, but that's the idea. They're not variables, but conditional statements based on $_GET information from the url.
