CSmith1128 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Hello. I need some help retrieving data from a URL. I want to make it easier for a user to get to a comment on my page and to be able to go directly to that comment when it is typed into the URL. For example, instead of this: http://www.mysite.com/comments.php?id=1 I want them to be able to do this: http://www.mysite.com/1 I am just wondering how to retrieve the "1" from the url instead of having to type id=1 and store it into a variable. I know that the second one is pointing to my homepage instead of comments.php, and thats fine. I am just going to redirect to the other page or include the other page after I retrieve the "1". Could someone help?
