Submiting variables through url name

[xdentan]

Ok how can I submit a variable throuugh the url?

Basicly I am trying to set up a way a user can have a profile page of their own.

I first create the page, userpage.php, and want each users page to be userpage.php?username=theirusernamehere
or something like that, how can I do this and allow php to recieve the variable?

Thanks in advance

To get variable values from an URL, use the superglobal $_GET.

Example:

//url is [url]http://phpbuilder.com/page.php?myname=Sharif[/url]

//show name
echo $_GET['myname']; //outputs Sharif;
