array_keys($HTTP_GET_VARS);

http://somedomain.com/phpscript.php?test=1000

// --- phpscript.php ---
<?
print (array_keys($HTTP_GET_VARS,0));
?>
// --- END ---

Shouldn't this print 'test'?

All I am getting is 'Array'.

nope, that's the correct behavior.

array_keys returns an ARRAY of keys..
check the return type:
array array_keys (array input [, mixed search_value])

so i think
$arrKeys = array_keys($HTTP_GET_VARS);
print $arrKeys[0];

would achieve the desired result..

Thanks,

I just had a momentary braincloud.

One more question though.

I would like my URL to be as follows:

http://www.domain.com/?1002

I am trying to identify affiliates as they send people to our site. The more they have to type, the dumber they get. I have to keep the link simple. I was hoping I could use an address like the one above.

$x = array_keys($HTTP_GET_VARS);
print ($x[0]);

works only if there is a name value pair. Is there an enveironment variable that grabs the whole URL they requested, including the ID I am passing? I could then just ereg() the string to get the ID.

Got it!

REQUEST_URI

Apache (and a lot of other webservers) provide

$HTTP_SERVER_VARS["QUERY_STRING"]

to get all parameters passed in the URL
