Your entire PHP script is executed and terminates before the page is
displayed on the browser. So the first time though, $_GET['action']
doesn't exist. When someone clicks on a link, then the action parameter
is passed to the script and $_GET['action'] has a value.
Any time you're expecting something from the browser you should check to
see if it has been set with isset(), i.e.
if (isset($_GET['action'])) ...
And only try to process the parameter if it has been set.
