Get Method.

[max_w1]

 

here is what i am trying to do. i have a url in my browser like this: http://localhost/jmla/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1295:sovereign-a-country-risk-workshop

 

as usuall we get elements form the url using the $_GET method, but here when i try to get id from the above url. i can get 1295:sovereign-a-country-risk-workshop. whereas the id is only 1295 and the other part is alias which i want to get seperately.

 

is there a way to do so?

 

[KevinM1]

$idInfo = $_GET['id'];
list($idNumber, $idText) = explode(':', $idInfo);

echo $idNumber;

If  you want to get seperately can you use

 

id=1295&d=sovereign-a-country-risk-workshop.

to add to Nightslyr's reply .............

 

list($idNumber, $idText) = explode(':', (htmlspecialchars($_GET['id'])));
echo $idNumber;

 

or you could do as voip03 suggested and just ignore d if you have no reason to call it.....
