Request("variable")

[Anon]

I'm converting from ASP to PHP and I can't figure out how to request the variable information I'm passing in my link. I can't send the information through a form, and there doesn't seem to be a request function like in ASP. How can I get the variable information from the link?

Thanks!

Let's say you have this :

http://yourpage.com/index.php?id=5

just use it...

echo $id;

Simple as that...

Safer to say $HTTP_GET_VARIABLES['id'];

The $HTTP_GET_VARIABLES array works just like the Request collection.

Oh, all right. If it makes the PHP4.2 users happy:

$_GET['id'];

HTTP_GET_VARS["id"] gets id from the url

HTTP_POST_VARS["id"] gets id from a form
