Thanks, Adam
The first option (setting the GET) works great.
I already know about taking the default out of the switch and putting
it in an else statement, but I want to work with the default inside
the switch. And of course I wanted to do it without turning off
E_NOTICE warnings
Thanks again for your help :)
