variables in the URL

[aussiefly]

hi guys,

 

i'm putting together a little referrer script for my site and I was just wondering if there is some simply way to 'grab' the variables listed in a URL.

 

So for instance if a client was sending people to

www.somerandomURL.com?refer=101

 

is there a way that when a new member then registers i can grab that account no out of the URL and store it in a variable for later use??

So you know the name of the variable in the URL? Just use the $_GET array:

 

$refer = $_GET['refer'];

If you are trying to find out which variables are available you might try:

 

$vars = array_keys($_GET);

 

Though you may want to use $_REQUEST to include both GET and POST requests.

 

You also have $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] which contains the, well, query string.

awesome!

 

That did the trick perfectly!  

 

Thanks for the help
