getting id from url

[xwishmasterx]

Hello

 

I am use to getting a members id fromthe URL using simple isset. The url looked like this ".....?r=membername". So getting the "r" value was easy.

 

Now I have a url looking like this: ".....?membername". Is it still easy to get the membername? How should that be coded?

 

Thanks

why did your url change?

It didn't. I just need to do the same thing on another site using this other form:)

i dont think there is a url like that .

it is either  a GET method with format like : www.blalba.com?r=vlaue which you can get with $_GET['r']

 

or a post method with format like : www.blalba.com which you can get with $_POST['r']

 

please correct me if i am wrong .

I think you are always going to need 2 items to pass a variable using a URL.  First is the variable name to be passed and second is the variable value to be passed.  So...

 

urlstuff?membername=<? echo $membernamevalue; ?> 

 

that might work?

 

On the receiving end:

 

$membername = $_GET["membername"];
