Serve multiple pages from 1 PHP file?

Question

So basically i am struggling with the need of optimizing my code for some project of mine. Currently i have pages like add_company.php, view_company.php

Answer 1

I always prefer using a switch statement for the $_GET variable. Its my personal preference to put all the logic pertaining to one entity (in this case company) in a single PHP file because I generally deal with tons of entities. If you want a MVC model, this might not be what you are looking for. Just my 2 cents.

// Common page header
// Other stuff common in the pages

$page_to_load = $_GET[view];

switch($page_to_load) {

case 'view':
//Logic to view or HTML for view
break;

case 'add':
//Logic to add or HTML for add
break;

}
// Common footer etc..
