Hi,

I am sorry if this question has been answered before but I am unable to  
find the answer.

What I would like to do is display the content of a page depending in  
the url, for example

[Whatever.UK](http://whatever.co.uk/package?chosen=something) would display:  
content one  
[Whatever.UK](http://whatever.co.uk/package?chosen=somethingelse) would display:  
content two

I know how to do this in php but the template that I am using is written  
in ruby.

Please could someone help.

You’re going to have to provide some more context. Are you using rails  
or  
some other web framework?

I asked the company which language the template is written in and the  
tech support guy said:  
“I believe it is written in ruby on the rails”

if ($url== “[http://whatever.co.uk/package?chosen=something](http://whatever.co.uk/package?chosen=something)”)  
{  
echo “

hello
”;  
}  
elseif ($url== “[http://whatever.co.uk/package?chosen=something](http://whatever.co.uk/package?chosen=something)”)  
}  
echo “
goodbye
”;  
}

The language is ruby. ruby on rails is a piece of software written in  
ruby.

This is how I do it in PHP

if (isset($\_GET[‘chosen’]) && ($\_GET[‘chosen’] == ‘something’)) {  
echo “Hi”;  
}  
if (isset($\_GET[‘chosen’]) && ($\_GET[‘chosen’] == ‘somethingelse’)) {  
echo “There”;  
}

I still have no idea how to do it with Ruby
