Question

I am creating a game web site using PHP and I want to just use one page for the game rather than have a bunch. I want to have the info entered like this:

`?swf=[path to .swf]&name=[name of game]&description=[Description of Game]&instruction=[Instructions for game]“

The problem is that if there is no data entered in the URL it returns a black page. I want to use the if…else to display a featured game if nothing is in the URL. The code I have right now is:

<?php $name=$_GET["name"];
if ($name=="*")
echo "<h3>$name"</h3>;
else
echo "Featured Game Name";
?>

<?php $description=$_GET["description"];
if ($description=="*")
echo "<h5>$description</h3>;
else
echo "<h5>Featured Game Description</h5>";
?>

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="
<?php $swf=$_GET["swf"];
if ($swf=="*")
echo "$swf;
else
echo "Featured Game swf path";
?>
" width="700" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="
<?php $swf=$_GET["swf"];
if ($swf=="*")
echo "$swf;
else
echo "Featured Game swf path";
?>
" />
</object>

<?php $instruction=$_GET["instruction"];
if ($instruction=="*")
echo "<p>$instruction</p>;
else
echo "Featured Game Instruction";
?>

Can anyone offer any suggestions on ways to accomplish this?

if(empty($_GET['swf']) and empty($_GET['name']) and empty($_GET['description']) and empty($_GET['instruction']){
/// code here
}else{
/// and here
}
