Assign value to a variable from URL

hi ,

$graph = "http://www.abc.com/ss";

PHP:

is the above shown code correct ?
i want to take the value from the url and assign it to $graph.
is it the right way to do it??

pls give a solution.

thank you.

 

sure, if you're looking for what I think you are, you can use $_GET.

For example:
URL: http://www.abc.com/index.php?m=ss
or:
URL: http://www.abc.com/?m=ss

<?php
$graph = $_GET['m'];
//result would be $graph = ss
?>

'm' could be whatever you choose as long as both params on URL and $_GET match

 

if you wana send values from one page to another via url you can send them like that

URL : http://www.xyz.com/some_page.php?id=233&name=mike

now you can catch the values from the url for later use like this


<?php
$member_id= $_GET['id'];
$member_name = $_GET['name'];

?>
