Call param inside php script

I have a php script which can take some GET params. I would like to know how I can call the script with a different param inside the script.

I want to achieve something like this:

if ($param == "authorise") {
    //call the same script but use the $param, getAccountDetails"
    i.e http://mywebsite.com/?param=getAccountDetails&var=ivar&foo=bar
}

The simplest thing I can think of would be to redirect the user to the script with the new GET variable.

if( $_GET['abc'] == 1 ) {
    header( 'Location: '.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?abc=2' );
}

If you would like to do this without exiting the running PHP script, take a look at cURL.

Use sessions

http://php.net/manual/en/features.sessions.php

sessions are used to add information to the client so they can be retrieved later.

You could just modify the $_GET array at the top of the script depending on what's inside it:

if(isset($_GET['authorise'])){
    $_GET['do_some_secret_thing'] = 'whatever';
}
// run the rest of your logic LIKE A BOSS.

There might be some more wizardy way of doing it, but that'd work and is fairly straightforward.

Good luck!
