I am new to PHP and I am from a ASP background. I would like someone to share with me now to access the QueryString, please before I tear my hair out!!

Queries can be sent as either POST or GET. I'll explain how to retrieve both methods.

$POST[] - This is an array containing all the post variables. The array uses names of the variable to retrieve the data they represent. Therefore, when someone queries ?a=b, $POST["a"] = b.

$_GET[] - This is the exact same as above, but only for GET.

Using them by name - Using the above example, $a = b.

..I am sending the information through the URL by a link. What would work in that situation.

And thank you for your help so far.

Through the URL is the GET method.

anything passed through a url is GET method.

....could any of you point me to a site where there is tutorial for beginners in PHP. And I already saw the documentation at php.net and I can't stand it's outline, so not there.
