Using the url to search a database

[djp122]

I have an android app that scans and item then goes to my webpage and searches a database for that item. However, I don't know how to search my database through my url. Something like, http://mywebpage.com/?=2001534. How would I set up my url to search the database?

Thanks in Advance.

add a page to your site, say called search.php, take the value from the url $_GET array use that in the db query (sanitise first)
