Passing unnamed variables with a URL

[showman]

I think I'm at a point of frustration, SO...

When all else fails ask the experts.

You always see variables data being passed in the following manner:

http://domain.com/?variable=value

But sometimes you also see the variable data as follows:

http://domain.com/?value

What I'm trying to figure out is how do you parse that value from the URL without a variable name attached.?

And to take it another step further, can that also be done passing several pieces of data with a URL?

I appreciate any help that you can provide.

Thank You
Douglas

your using a form right? you have to name the form if its get as far as I know, and you also have to name each field

<textarea name="bob"></textarea>

like that...

[showman]

What I'm wanting to do specifically to begin with is be able to append a member ID to the end of the URL as a value, without having to use the variable name..

i.e.

[url]http://www.replicated_site.com?12345[/url]

where the 12345 is the members ID.

Then when the page is loaded, I need to know how to parse the 12345 into a variable to be used within the script.

The 12345 is also a field in the MySql DB that relates only to that member..

But beyond finding that solution, I wondered if it is possible to pass multiple values and be able to parse them into variables in the PHP script.

You could simply access
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']

OK Laserlight, I'm not sure what you mean by

You could simply access
$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']

Not sure how to implement that or what I would get back?

Could you expound on that idea a bit for me?

I appreciate your assistance, or any other ideas that I could get..

Thanks
Doug
