You might find phpinfo() particularly useful as an indicator of how php is
configured and most of the built in variables such as environment
variables.

Also http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.external.php
http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php

Spend a little while perusing the documentation at php.net - it is very
good. And php.net/function-name is a handy way of looking up a specific
function.

Cool. SO, now it's in a string, I can chop, slice, dice, make  
gazillions of steak fries, and drive on. So, now we can munch a  
webpage with a query string as a KEY to unlock access to it, and use  
DIE to stop the process if it is not there, or is the correct key, so  
far making sense?

yup

OK, so $_GET is an array keyed to keywords; plug in the key, out  
comes the value. What if I just want the entire string?


$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']

Your turn! :-D


  $_GET

and if you do post.. (can you guess?)

  $_POST

usage:
  http://www.foo.org/item1/delivery.php?item=name&code=DATA
