help pulling info from url...

[ichversuchte]

I need to pull a value from the url that is passed. 

Say that the url is this:

http://www.forthestudentsbooks.com/usersendinginfo.php?lid=26

I need to get the 26 from the url so that I can use it on the page im working with. 

What would the code look like to do this?

Thank you

[code=php:0]
if (isset($_GET['lid'])) {
  $lid = $_GET['lid'];
}

echo $lid;
[/code]
