PHP cases work but not default

Question

I have a few cases for pages which are being loaded using Ajax. Each case loads perfectly apart from the default at the bottom. It just doesn't display anything.

switch($_GET['page'])  {  

    case '#filemanager' : $page = '
        <div class="innerbox">
            <p>Demo text for the file manager page</p>
        </div>'; break;

    case '#todo' : $page = '
        <div class="innerbox">
            <p>Demo text for the to-do page</p>
        </div>'; break;

    default: $page = '
        <div class="innerbox">
            <h1>ADMIN CONTROL PANEL</h1>
        </div>'; break;

}
echo $page;

Is there something wrong I have done in the code? If so a quick helping hand would be much appreciated.

Regards

nothing looks wrong, try <p>ADMIN CONTROL PANEL</p>

The code should work, see this example.

Most likely the problem is that $_GET['page'] is not set and you run into a php warning. You can avoid that by using:

$get = isset($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : 'default or something';
switch($get) {
    ...

Hi, thanks for your reply but this didn't make a difference. I also forgot to say that for each case, it adds the case ID on to the end of the url for example, admin/php#todo. Does this make a difference?

@Lodder But in that case the variable would not be present in $_GET or are you encoding the value of #?
