Note Submitter: lyricnz ---- I'm surprised this is not a language function, but PHP should be able to deal with repeated values in parsing a HTTP URL. (eg: ?foo=1&foo=2). In the meantime you can use something like: function getQueryBits($query,$getkey) { $results = array(); foreach (split('&',$query) as $bit) { @list($key,$value) = split('=',$bit); if ($key==$getkey && $value!=NULL) $results[] = urldecode($value); } return $results; } then you can invoke this method thusly: getQueryBits($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], 'foo'); For example, on ?foo=1&foo=2&wibble&foo this will return an array with two elements, "1" and "2"
