When I was reading this page, I thought, "Oh great, now how am I going to change my pages so they will accept variables from the URL" I read some of the first comments and got confused about why they were doing that. It finally made sense when I read that in an URL, and thing after the ? mark is a get request. So we have a URL, http://www.hello.com/?id=12345 the command $id=$HTTP_GET_VARS['id']; would get the variable. I didn't know this before, so I hope this helps some other people.
