Retreiving variables from URL

Hey, i have a link in my AIM profile that is: http://mydomain.com/?user=%n

how can I retrieve that from the URL and send it to a database?

[man]parse_url[/man]?

but what code would i use to pull var $user out?

Did you happen to look at the link? With parse_url, it will be in the query element.

yeah, i jus' dont understand it. lemme look at it again tho

ok, i still don't under stand, i don't know how to code it

can someone help?

Thanks, I got it
