[SOLVED] get vars from url

[Shu]

alright i want to get the vars from a url

the url will be generated at run-time, not the user requested url

eg

<?
$url = "http://example.com/thisisaexample.php?abc=thisisabc&def=thisisdef";
?>

then how do i make my script to understand abc = thisisabc?

[Orio]

[code]echo $_GET['abc']; //output- thisisabc
echo $_GET['def']; //output- thisisdef[/code]

Orio.

You should look at the functions [url=http://www.php.net/parse_url]parse_url()[/url] and [url=http://www.php.net/parse_str]parse_str()[/url].

this will only work if thats the current url the user is requesting. but in my case not.

the url is generated on the script itself.
