Lets use the above quoted line as an example. First thing i would suggest here  is to remove the last slash, the question mark and the $ from your query string. You can put it back later after you tested a few things.

 

Next you should reference the page slug with "pagename" not "page_id"

 

The next thing would be that this function should be called within the wordpress "init" action hook. For example: add_action("init","my_init_function");

 

You need to hook into the "query_vars" hook and add your variables, for example your "a" query var to the wordpress query variables:

 

 

function my_query_vars($vars){

 

    $vars[] = "a";

 

    return $vars;

}

add_filter("query_vars","my_query_vars");

 

 

Finally, go into the wordpress admin to Settings->permalinks and hit save, to refresh your permalinks setup.

 

Give that a try, it may need some playing around with but that is the basics of what needs to be done. You would then  access your query var in the page template as: get_query_var("a");
