How can I get the record number??

[elentz]

I have a php page that I want to link to from another page.  The original page url is :http://192.168.3.253/index.php?action=DetailView&module=Accounts&parenttab=Support&record=3985&viewname=0  I want to use the record number (in this case 39858) in my php script.  I only have the url to work with, I cannot change the code that creates the page I get this record number from.  I have tried a simple Get and POST and tried to echo the record number with no results.

 

Can someone help me with a clue on how to do this?

 

Thanks alot

get should work... i don't know why it wouldn't

<?php
if(isset($_GET['record'])) {
   echo $_GET['record'];
}
?>

 

That doesn't return anything?

I got a blank page with that code as well.  Just to make sure I am explaining what I have.  I have a url for the 2nd page that I want to pass the variable  $record from the parent page.  I only have the url from the parent page to work with.  Could the record number be in an array?

 

Thanks again
