'echo' question - dynamic content

[andrewmay67]

I don't know if this would be right but I want to get some kind of simple php code that would allow me to do this eg... a url

http://www.me.com/info.php?email=[e-mail] and from there it would be a dynamic page where whatever you put after the question mark would show up on this page.

Anyone know how to do this?

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're getting at, but on info.php you could access your variable 'email' like this:

$email = $_GET['email'];

Then you could display the value of $email like:

echo $email;

If you actually wanted to display everything after the ? like you say, you could do this:

echo $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

What I'm trying to do is like if I have a php page and want to make it so I can do this the address again would be like

info.php?Hello+This+Is+A+Test

And "Hello This Is A Test" would show up in the body of the php page? I dunno if this helps understanding?

So how would I go along coding this, sorry I still learning 🙁

Hi neighbour!

I think kburger answered your question... to pass variable through the url you need a key and value which are stored in an array called $GET automatically. In your email example, 'email' is the key and '[e-mail]' is the value. Thus,

echo $_GET['email'];

displays the value of the 'email' key in the $_GET array.

You second example has a value (Hello+this+is+a+test) but no key so no way to access it directly. (besides the $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] method)
What you need is:
info.php?text=Hello+this+is+a+test

To display it:

echo $_GET['text'];

Uou can also pass multiple variables this way:
info.php?email=[e-mail]&text=Hello+this+is+a+test
