[RESOLVED] Passing through a variable from url to page

[PoodogR]

Hello:

I have a php landing page and I'm trying to use a tracking code that would let me dynamically pass through part of the url of this page (like the number 6264) to a point on the page, such as in part of a hyperlink that's posted on the page.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Ideally, I want to be able to access this page using a query string/tracking code that would include a 4-5 character variable that could be anything really, and it would make whatever that variable is, show up at any point on the page through the use of a token. I want to pass this variable through in an affiliate link.

This has gotta be a simple piece of code that does this. Does anyone know off-hand how someone would do this?

Talk to you soon,

If you place this code on a .php page, and access it using http://www.site.com/page.php?variable=123, the code will output 123

Welcome to the forum.

<?php

//check if variable is being passed at end of URL
if (isset($_GET['variable']))
{
	//place this value into a new variable
	$var = $_GET['variable'];
	//Display the variable
	echo $var;
}


?>
