looks like you already started this.. but you could just check if it's set beforehand

 

if(isset($_GET["action"])){
switch($_GET['action'])
{
  case 'sale': sale(); break;
  case 'wanted': wanted(); break;
  case 'free': free(); break;
  case 'add' : add(); break;
  default: home(); break;
}
} else {
home();
}

 

edit:actually scootstah's way would be cleaner
