Receiving Values via URL

[RogerInHawaii]

Within some PHP code I'm constructing a URL that includes some variables that I want to pass along with the URL. Something like www.MyWebSite.com/PageTwo.php?Param1=32.  I intend to use this constructed URL within a META tag that will cause it to jump to that page. For example:

 

echo '<META http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=www.MyWebSite.com/PageTwo.php?Param1=32">';

 

That works fine. It does indeed jump to that page an dthe parameter is indeed included in the URL when it gets there.

 

But how then do I retrieve the values I passed? How do I get that Param1=32?

I initially thought that this would constitute something comparable to a GET type of form submit, so that the values would be available via the PHP $_GET function ( e.g. $TheParam = $_GET['Param1'] ) but that doesn't work.

 

Is there a method for retrieving parameters passed by URL? Or, alternatively, is there a way I can get that META tag to do a GET type submit?

$_GET is the correct method.

 

echo "<pre>".print_r($_GET,true)."</pre>";

 

Use that to see what is being handed with GET.

or $_REQUEST if your not sure if its post of get etc.
