Solution 1

As you have done for the id, like this:

$name = $_GET['name'];

Read this: PHP 5 Form Handling[^]. Look for the method='get' in the form tag example.

hey Peter, can you tell me how do i make it like for example, there's many links on the page but not displaying until i put the id on url. so if i put id on url then link must show up in body of the page. hope you understand and thanks.

Not clear. Can you show some code and html pages and how you want to navigate between them?

Member 10749093 21-Jan-15 22:15pm

if(isset($_GET["id"]) && trim($_GET["id"]) == 'hi')

Member 10749093 21-Jan-15 22:16pm

look at that code, it has only 1 "id" i want to make it like this somesite.com/index.php?id=111111&name=sam
Not like this somesite.com/index.php?id=111111

this url somesite.com/index.php?id=111111&name=sam has 2 query strings id="111111" and name="sam"
To capture them on the server side, do this:
if(isset($_GET["id"]) && trim($_GET["id"]) == '111111' && isset($_GET["name"]) && trim($_GET["id"]) == 'sam' ) {
// if id = "111111" and name="sam"
// then do something
}
