Michael Calkins wrote: How is it used for a website then? Some program is using the ID 4 and the value of cus to bring up information you requested on a prior page. Probably to query a database for those values. As Ashley said: it is GET ($_GET) data in a URL -- a way to pass values from one page to another using the URL. Look up $_GET or Predefined Variables in the PHP documentation online. If that doesn't help, you need to buy the most basic book on web programming you can find (and read it).

It's just data received by a $_GET[] (data in the url) such as: ?php $whatever = $_GET['ph']; $id = $_GET['id']; Then you can use that data (after scrubbing) to obtain data from a database, such as: SELECT cost FROM items WHERE whatever='$whatever' AND id = '$id' From that you could get the cost of the item and use it in your script. This is just one way to send data from one page/script to another.

Split up, it is:
app.php The filename and extension
?ph=cusid=4 An HTTP query string
? Start of HTTP query string
ph A parameter name 'ph' which is
accessible in this case via the $_GET superglobal array
= The equals operator assigns a value to
a variable
cusThe value of the parameter 'ph'
assigned in the HTTP query string given
The ampersand indicates that another
parameter (variable) will be concatenated with the HTTP query string
id A second parameter name 'id'
= Again, for variable assignment
4 The value of the 'id' variable
assigned in the HTTP query string given
To read this information, the app.php script could be accessed in
a regular web browser with the query string given appended as you
provided. If it's accessed via an HTTP request to a web server or
other PHP-enabled application, the code to parse the information could
be as follows:
?php
/***
* To see if a specific parameter was passed within
* the HTTP query string, we can simple check the
* $_GET superglobal like any other array, like so:
*/
if (isset($_GET['foo'])) {
echo The 'foo' parameter was passed to me, and equals '.$foo.';
}
// Simple check to see if a variable equals a static value or not
if ($_GET['ph'] == 'cus') {
echo Yes, 'ph' equals 'cus'.;
} else {
echo No, 'ph' does not equal 'cus'.;
}
// Dump the array to the screen without basic details
var_dump($_GET);
// Dump the array without details, but with simple text formatting
echo pre.PHP_EOL;
print_r($_GET);
echo /pre.PHP_EOL;
// Print it all out with basic formatting
foreach ($_GET as $k = $v) {
echo b.$k. = .$v.br /.PHP_EOL;
}
?
For more information, check the PHP manual and Google for
superglobals and the fundamentals of using PHP in a web-based
environment.

This is standard HTTP/HTML terminology, not unique to PHP. What is means is that the script being executed (app.php) has been supplied two parameters: ph and id. app.php is a script that can perform various functions, depending on the parameters passed to it. For example, app.php may display a record from a database. And in this case, app.php may be tasked to display a customer record, and the customer record it should display is the one where the customer number is 4. Syntax-wise, after the name of the script (app.php), are whatever parameters, if any, the script requires. The first question mark begins the list of parameters. Each parameter normally will be in the form parameter=value In between each of these parameter/value pairs, you will find an ampersand (). So in this case, you have two parameters being passed. The first is ph, and its value is cus. The second is id and its value is 4. What these parameters mean exactly to the script depends on the script. There's no universal guide for parameters, what they're called or what their values can be. You'd have to look at the script itself to see what the parameters make the script do. In PHP, if you want to use these parameters, you would query the parameters this way: $page_type = $_GET['ph']; $which_item = $_GET['id']; If executed this way, you would find that $page_type has a value of 'cus', and $which_item = '4'. You might have code inside app.php which would look like the following: $type = $_GET['ph']; $id = $_GET['id']; if ($type == 'cus') show_customer_page($id); Hope that helps. Paul -- Paul M.
