php links (help the newbie please)

[rock2much]

Hi all, Ive been to a few pages where people have links set up like...
www.mysite.com/links.php?3
www.mysite.com/links.php?18
www.mysite.com/links.php?25

How do I do that?

Thanx everyone

Perhaps they use QUERY_STRING :

foo.php?30

echo $QUERY_STRING; // 30
