Getting information from user via get method?

catgurl_ashley

Okie this is my problem.... $char_id is a variable in a query that calls all this information on a given charecter and displays it....

I need sum kinda code that takes information in the address and inputs it into a variable..... so it would be sumthin like this

URL : www.blah.com/charecter.php?charecter=7

in this instance $char_id would equal 7

URL : www.blah.com/charecter.php?charecter=4

in this instance $char_id would equal 4

... Anyone know how to make this work?

if ($_GET['charecter'] == "$char_id") {
show_charecter($char_id);
}

Now this needs further explanation...

Where $_GET['charecter'] is a variable containing the information in the address. So what is really being asked for?

Thanx for looking into it, but I figured it out...

with MUCH researching :p

I used $char_id = $_REQUEST['charecter'];

i inserted phpinfo and deleated the rest of the script, just to see what patterns I got for the url, it worked! ....

so thanx for your help 🙂
