how to get id from URL using php

Question

I have this code on my Search page:

<a href="detail.php?id=<?php echo $ido;?>"STYLE="TEXT-DECORATION: NONE"><?php echo $nume;?></a>

and i also have a detail.php page. I need to get the $ido value from the URL so that I can use it in the detail.php page to retrieve information from the database.

The detail page has a URL like this: detail.php?id=17 , I need to get the value after the = , in this case 17 , into a variable.

Answer 1

In your detail.php use: $id = $_GET['id']; you can then use $id around the rest of your page.

Answer 2

You can also use $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

But this will only fetch id=17

Answer 3

If still having problem then try:

• To fetch integer value:

   $id = intval($_GET['id']);

• To fetch string value:

   $name = strval($_GET['name']);
