Use $_GET, for instance if your querystring is:
www.domain.com?id=bob&level=admin
You can access the qs values via $_GET['id'] and $_GET['admin'].

Alternatively, if you're just wanting to grab the entire querystring as a string you can do so using $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'].

// If using GET method
$stringl = $_GET["field_name"];
// If using POST method
$stringl = $_POST["field_name"];

ok, is it the same thing for requesting submitted form data?


thanks again for al your help guys!

hmm, i seem to be getting an error when I try to use:

$username = $_GET["username"];

gives me:
Notice: Undefined index: username in C:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\national\admin\test.php on line 3

am i missing something?

If you're using the GET form method then it should be the same. If you want to use the POST form method, same thing but use $_POST['username'] instead.

ok, but i'm getting an error for some reason when i do it, as i posted right above your post, do you have any idea what i've done wrong?

thanks again!

You should only be getting that error if the data wasn't properly passed from one page to the other, it's basically saying that it can't find a variable in $_GET/$_POST (whichever you're using) with the name specified.

Which method are you using to submit your data?
