Where can I find an answer to this very easy question?

[Hank]

I want to use two variables contained un a URL:

www.mysite/mypage.php?number=12345&word=hello

How do I retrieve these variables into my PHP?

[0x00]

$_GET['number'], etc... others may include $_POST (for items submitted by a form) and $_REQUEST (does both GET or POST in one)

Given your example: 

 

 

www.mysite/mypage.php?number=12345&word=hello

 

mypage.php

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors',1);

if (isset($_GET['number']))
{
	$number = $_GET['number'];
}

if (isset($_GET['word']))
{
	$word = $_GET['word'];
}
