Query Strings

SteveFrost

Hey,

Some of my users may type in http://www.domain.com but I need a query string to be in the URL automatically so is it possible to redirect to http://www.domain.com/index.php?id=1 if the query string is not already there?

Thanks for any help in advance,

Steve

yes but what's wrong with

if (empty($_GET['id'])){
$_GET['id']=1;
}

Thanks for the reply but that isn't really what I was looking for.

How can I add the querystring to the URL so the user actually sees it?

Why is that so important?

The only reasons the above wouldn't work where an actual query string would is

1. You are using $_REQUEST instead of $_GET for some reason.
	Solution: Don't. Or set both $_REQUEST and $_GET yourself. Still, that's even worse
			than using $_REQUEST in the first place
2. You have register globals enabled.
	Solution: Don't. And in this case, for page default, you could just: $id = =1;

btw http://www.domain.com?id=1 would also work.
