$HTTP_SERVER_VARS["QUERY_STRING"];

Anon

Newbie question here..

Suppose the Query String (taken from $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["QUERY_STRING"] )

reads something like: boo=moo&loo=foo&doo=hoo

Whats the best way to obtain only the first part , that is:

boo=moo ?

aleph_x

Try this:

$qstr = "boo=moo&loo=foo&doo=hoo";

$qary = explode("&", $qstr);

echo $qary[0]; // outputs "boo=moo"

<?
preg_match_all('/(([a-z0-9-]{1,})=+([a-z0-9-]{1,}[^{&]))/is',$HTTP_SERVER_VARS["QUERY_STRING"],$vars);}

//$vars now holds each value pair
echo "here's the full array schema \n";
print_r($vars);

echo "You can call the variables directly from the array as follows ";
echo "Call the full name value pair: " . $vars[1][0] . " \n";
echo "Call the name only: " . $vars[2][0] . " \n";
echo "Call the value only: " . $vars[3][0] . " \n";
?>

hope that helps 🙂
