Does PHP use something like ASP query strings

[rizza]

I'm a ASP developer, and am having trouble getting the hang of PHP, but then again my brain is so fried today.

I'm trying to make a page that will allow me to add a link to my DB. I wanted to use one page for all operations and just send it a query string and use the querystring in a case statemnt to determine whether to process the form or display the add link form.

My second question is does anyone have any good examples of form processing and or case statements that i can refrence.

Thanks in advance,

Rizza

Here is a very simple example.

<?php
if (!empty($_GET['name'])) // if $_GET['name'] has any contents...
{
    echo &quot;Hello &quot; . $_GET['name'] . &quot;<br />&quot;;
}
else // else...
{
    echo &quot;Submit a name.<br />&quot;;
}
?>
<form action=&quot;<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>&quot; method=&quot;GET&quot;>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;name&quot; /><br />
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Send&quot; />
<form>

This script only works with PHP 4.2.0 or later, but I think you get the point. //Daniel
