Answer 1

 <?php


       $action=  $_GET['action']
       //$_REQUEST, by default, contains the contents of $_GET, $_POST and $_COOKIE. 
       // $action=  $_REQUEST['action']; 
        switch($action){
            case "add":
               add();
               break;
            default:
               hello();
               break;
        }

        function add() {

            echo "hello";
        }

        function hello() {

            echo "hello1";
        }
        ?>

switch on $_GET['action'] instead.
