Re: [PHP] How do you read one of these parameters?

[M. Sokolewicz]

or, you could use a 404-errorHandler, and have it parse the URL that 
caused it couldn't find ;) (that's what I use occasionally)

I see URLs formatted like this:

How do you read that "xyz," since there's no "/?x=" preceding it? Is it
not a get parameter?

If you can't do mod_rewrite you can use:
http://tinyurl.com/index.php/xyz
with:
<?php echo $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'];?>
I use it all the time, especially to pass parameters to dynamic images and
PDFs so that Microsoft Internet Explorer (various versions) can't screw
up.
