What is the logic or idea behind doing multiple layouts while having per se the same index file, or a user being able to choose layouts.

It's kind of confusing for me

See my news goes like index.php?cat=1

Would the code be to have a different layout be somethoing

if(cat=1)
{
// stuff here to choose a different layout
}
if(cat=2)
{
// stuff here to choose a different layout
}
etc.
else
// show the regular layout

?

You could do something like this.

PHP Code:

if (isset($_GET['cat1'])) && $_GET['cat1'] != '') {
// layout 1 goes here
elseif (isset($_GET['cat2'])) && $_GET['cat2'] != '')
// layout 2 goes here
else;
// default layout goes here
} 

And then you could use links to change the layout like so:

http://www.domain.com/index.php?cat=1
http://www.domain.com/index.php?cat=2
