URL Query String

[Anon]

Hi Guys,
I am receiving the following URL string from a secure pay site.

http://www.ripefruit.com/securepay/thankyou.phpUKMD01&amount=1500&response_code=08&txn_id=000015&settle_date=20020424&card_type=Visa&optional_info=Services

I am wanting to put the values from this string into a database.
To do this, is it just a matter of turning the values into eg. $amount, $response_code, $txn_id etc.?
If so, how do i turn the UKMD01 into a value ready for insertion into the database?

Cheers,
micmac

Hmm. You missing something there? thankyou.phpUKMD01&... is right? I'm asking 'cos I see no ? there to separate the pagename from the querystring.

If you are right, then I guess the bit you want is that between the ".php" and the first '&'

preg_match("/.php(.*?)&/",$url,$match);
echo $match[1];

Thanks for the reply.
What if i wanted all values from the string, eg. amount, response_code, txn_id, settle_date, card_type and option_info? (including the UKMD01 value)

Use $amount,$response_code and so on

Unless you're using a recent version of PHP, in which case they're all in the $GET array under their own names; e.g. $GET['amount], $_GET['response_code'], etc.

In either case, they should also be accessable through the $HTTP_GET_VARS array in the same was as through $_GET; it's advisable to use one of these two arrays for safety purposes - that way you can guarantee that the variables you're using are getting their values from where they're supposed to be.

But was that URL written correctly? 'Cos if it wasn't, what I said would be useless.
