    Assuming $url is the URL, $vars['MERCHANTID'] will be what you want...
    parse_str(parse_url($url, PHP_URL_QUERY), $vars);
echo $vars['MERCHANTID'];

    Actually the code he wrote is a way but i think not the best.
    Notice the URL contains a GET element wich u can retrieve using the 
    $_GET[''];
    Code (markup):
    variable.

    I think i'd rather go for this:
    
if(isset($_GET['MERCHANTID'])){
$merchid = $_GET['MERCHANTID'];
}
    Code (markup):
    Or you could create a for each loop on the GET array and place it in a new one check if the merchantid value exists.

    He never said if the URL was a URL the script was running in though... $_GET might not have the info.
