note 51481 added to reserved.variables

If you're ever in a situation where you need to get a query string variable and you can't use a standard variable reference (inside a function, etc.) you can use the following: <? //example query: foo=bar&foo2=bar2 $rawquerystring = explode("&", $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]); foreach($rawquerystring as $singlequery) { $queryparts = explode("=", $singlequery); $querystring[$queryparts[0]] = $queryparts[1]; } echo $querystring['foo']; //prints "bar" echo $querystring['foo2']; //prints "bar2" ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+51481 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51481&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51481&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51481&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51481&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51481&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+51481&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
