get variable out of a returned URL

[jonnyfortis]

hello, i have a url returned from a payment centre and i need to use the information to make variables out of

 

for example

 

www.website.com/cancel.php?orderID=969&currency=GBP&amount=0%2E01&PM=&ACCEPTANCE=&STATUS=1&CARDNO=&ED=&CN=&TRXDATE=06%2F03%2F13&PAYID=719527322&NCERROR=&BRAND=&IP=86%2E130%2E167%2E99&SHASIGN=8D01371831130CFADEB12345678911391FD8332D6B

 

 

so i need the 

 

$orderID

$currency

$amount

 

etc....

 

how is this done?

 

thanks in advance

hint...

 

$orderID = $_GET['orderID']

 

and so on

My first advice would be: try something!

 

Or follow this link

i tried

 

 $ORDERID = $GET['orderID'];

 $AMOUNT = $GET['amount'];

 

this should give me the results

 

order ID: 969'

amount?: 0.01

 

is that correct as when i echo out

<?php echo $ORDERID ?>

<?php echo $AMOUNT ?>

 

i am not getting a value

Do you have error reporting turned on? If not, it would be wise to turn that on.

for one, you are missing semi colons. (';') on the echo's

 

and using var_dump() instead of echo is much better in cases like this.

i added the colons and will try using var_dump()

 

i do not have error reporting turned on.

Turn on error reporting. I think its:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", 1);

OP needs to use parse_url, the entire string is what they have. They are not the file at that URL, their file has received that URL

While it's a bad idea, it's perfectly valid syntax.

 

<?php echo 'foo' ?>
<?php echo 'bar' ?>

 

 

 

foobar

Good catch, I missed that...

not sure if the solved state of the thread is from before or after post #4, but it's $_GET not $GET.
