Query Strings

Can a query string have more than one variable?
ex
post.php?letter=blah&number=blah

Yes it can have as many as can fit into the browser limit of number of chacters for GET

Thanks

Just to let you know...

...a normal limit is 1024 bytes (characters) for the whole URL!

How do you retrieve the query strings in php and make them avaiable in a page as variables?

In jsp, I would use:

<% String whatever = request.getParameter("query_string"); %>

I'm just getting started into php.

Thanks.

The variables passed in the query string are automatically made available as variables in PHP. FOr example, if the query string was:

test.php?Name=Steve&Age=21

Then you could do this in your PHP script...

<?php
echo("Your name is " . $Name . " and you are " . $Age . " year(s) old.");
?>

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Steve

Thanks

I just figured that out when it started working on its own.
