How do I fetch a var from the URL??

Anon

Hi,
This is proberbly the easiest thing in the world...which is why I havent fount it on the forum.

If this is the URL:
http://www.something.com/doc.php3?var1=a&var2=b

In ASP you use:
var1=ReqeustQueryString(var1)
var2=ReqeustQueryString(var2)

Then how do I in my php3 document use these variables?
What's the command to do that?

Please help

Given this:
http://www.something.com/doc.php3?var1=a&var2=b

try this:

<?
echo $var1;
echo $var2;
?>

Should get :

Most places, variable passing is automatic. Sometimes you have to extract them. (see getenv @ php.net)

PS: PHP blows ASP out of the water! ... 😉

$HTTP_GET_VARS[] is an associateive array that holds all the values of variables passed in the URL. They can be accessed via $variablename as well unless you have assigned $variablename to something else or you have a POST variable with the name variablename .
