url parameters in php

[Anon]

My php receives a parameter list with the request (e.g. http://some.com/php/target.php?name1=value1&name2=value2)
I vould like to get a list of these parameters. how does it work?

Well, if you have track_vars turned on, you can do:

while(list($var_name, $var_value) = each($HTTP_GET_VARS)) {
echo "$var_name: $var_value<BR>";
}

Will return a list like:
name1: value1
name2: value2

The array HTTP_GET_VARS contains all of the variables set through GET (as in page?variable=value&variable=value) or HTTP_POST_VARS contains all of the post variables, and HTTP_COOKIE_VARS contains all of the cookie variables.

Hope that helps!

Chris,

You have no idea how much of a life saver you are.

Over the past half hour to 45 minutes, I have been getting extreemly frustrated at the lack of valid information regarding PHP.

I've wracked my brain trying to figure out different ways to word what I wanted to do, and after wading thru the feces that most of these ppl call "help" I finally found a nugget of useful infomation.

Thank you very much, may your code be clean and tight.
