Help PHP Question

[Steven Sinfield]

Hi There,

I firstly wish to thank those who have helped me:) I have one issue that I
sort of am lost in the dark, I have searched google without any luch,

I am passing the following through to a html link

result.php?1001

How can I get the query to recognise that number as the WHERE clause
condition.

Thanking you in advance.

Cheers
Steve

Re: Help PHP Question

Using $_GET :

result.php?num= 1001

Then use $_GET['num'] to get the number 1001.


Using $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] :

result.php?1001

Then use $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] to get all the string after the ?
mark. In this case it will have the number 1001.

or you can use Apache's the mod_rewrite:

RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^result\.php\?([\d]+)$ /?num=$1

(if result.php is in site's root directory)

this should rewrite request result.php?1001 to result.php?num= 1001
you can use even better view construction with mod_rewrite:
RewriteRule ^result\/([\d]+)$ /result.php?num= $1

will rewrite http://mysite.com/result/1001 to

http://mysite.com/result.php?num=1001
