RE: [PHP4BETA] re:array navigation

Isolate your file name and use associative arrays for your values.

$Next[ "zero" ] = "one.htm";
$Next[ "one"  ] = "two.htm";

Then use $Next[ $filename ] to get the value.

Here's a function to isolate the filename (no extension), called using the
"macro" for the filename (which included the path)

  $filename = JustFileName( __FILE__ );

  function JustFileName( $pathAndFile )
  {
    $basename = basename( $pathAndFile );

    $pos = strrpos($basename, "." );

    if ($pos)
      return substr( $basename, 0, $pos );
    else
      return $basename;
  }
