pass data to PHP file using URL string
Hi
I just got started with PHP, and have gotten as far as interactively populating and then reading and displaying data from a mySQL DB.
Now, what I want to do is pass parameters to an online PHP file via the URL, to tell the PHP file what data to display. I’ve looked at some reference materials, but they’re either to basic or too advanced for me. Can someone point me toward any sample scripts, both for building the URL string, and for parsing it for processing?
thx!

<?php
$foo = "This is a test";
$bar = 123;
$url = htmlentities("foo=" . urlencode($foo) . "&bar=" . urlencode($bar));
$page = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
$link = "$page?$url";
echo "<p>This is a test: <a href='$link'>Click Me</a></p>n";
if(isset($_GET))
{
foreach($_GET as $key => $val)
{
echo "<p>$key = $val</p>n";
}
}
?>
