[geeklog-users] switching blocks

You'd have to do this in a PHP block.  From there you could declare any 
PHP global variables you need such as $PHP_SELF, $_REQUEST, $_GET, 
$_POST or, if you are on PHP older than 4.1 $HTTP_POST_VARS and 
$HTTP_GET_VARS.

Also you may want to look into the menu plugin that I have seen but 
haven't tried as it may do this kind of stuff for you.

Either way it is very doable given somone with a little PHP kumg-fu.

Hope that helps.
