something like...

PHP:

  <?php
$filename = '/path/to/'.$_GET['x'].'.txt';

if (file_exists($filename)) {
    include$filename;
} else {
    include 'defaultpage.txt'}
?>

Just a warning, don't use that code without modification (adding security, e.g. whitelist of allowed words) because as it stands that's highly vulnerable.
