Interpreting URL String

[dharbour]

I am using the freeware MySQL search program DGS Search v0.9.6 from Digital Genesis with an online recipe database. The program is great and running very well. The problem is that when I select from the search_results page to send the database search finds to the recipe.php in a text format I cannot figure out how to interpret the string that appears as a dynamic URL in the browser address window .

The data is configured as follows:

http://www.zzz.com/results.php?id='Red%20Chili%20Sauce',%20'Chili%20Powder',%20'Mexican'

I want to show the results as a readable text document. I know this is probably real simple however I'm new to php. Can someone point me to a resource or provide the code for the results.php page that would interpret the string in the url?

Thanks

try this
$str = ereg_replace('([url]http://[/url])?([^{[:space:]$]+)','http://\2',} $str);

Thanks....I tried it on results page. Still no luck at getting string to post.
