It appears that you are assuming that $id will contain the GET variable "id"
automatically. This was true in old installations of PHP but not for the past
several years. A feature known as "register_globals" is and should be "off."
To resolve this, before you use $id set it like this:
$id = $_GET['id'];
Otherwise, it will always be zero and lead to your default case in the switch()
statement.
