 * Do u know how can i open different single.php in wordpress based on some parameter
   passed.
 * For some reason when i pass the parameter with the permlink – get_permalink($
   post->ID).’?name=rahul’ the parameter doesn’t reaches the page and it is taken
   off from the url as well.
 * Any clues?

 * Try changing the name parameter. if I do this I get a 404:
 *     ```
       <a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID).'?name=rahul' ?>"><?php echo $post->post_title;  ?></a>
       ```
   
 * but if i do this:
 *     ```
       <a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID).'?the_name=rahul' ?>"><?php echo $post->post_title;  ?></a>
       ```
   
 *  it works.
    Maybe “name” is a reserved (query) parameter.
