Is it possible to set part of the URL as a variable in PHP?
So for example if this was the URL:
http://domain.com/?=customer&p[1]=data&p[1]=admin_data&type_id=5&client_id=2345
Could I take the last segment of the URL which is client_id=2345 and set the 2345 as a variable $client_id
From url you use $_GET
$client_id = $_GET['client_id']
There is similar variable for data sent from form $_POST
y, ofc, thats what $_GET is for:
$client_id = $_GET['client_id'];
Dont forget to validate pls, for example:
$client_id = filter_var($_GET['client_id'], FILTER_VALIDATE_URL);
FILTER_VALIDATE_URL, you cant enter something like "hi im gosu" or whatever. For further information about filters, you should look at the php docs: de3.php.net/manual/en/function.filter-var.phpYou can get parameter from url by $_GET($_GET is a php reserved variable) by parameter name.
format is :
$_GET['parameter_name'];
It seems that your url is not correctly formated:
http://domain.com/?=customer&p[1]=data&p[1]=admin_data&type_id=5&client_id=2345
it should be like this:
http://domain.com/?param_name=customer&p[1]=data&p[1]=admin_data&type_id=5&client_id=2345
Then you can get:
$var1 = $_GET['param_name'];
$client_id = $_GET['client_id']; // get client id
here is the reference : http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.get.php it will help you to understad.
let me know if you have any query
See by yourself :
<?php
if (count ($_GET) == 0)
{
// redirect with GET parameters
$strange_get = "=customer&p[1]=data&p[1]=admin_data&type_id=5&a[1]->x=zz&b[1][2]=one&b[1][]=two"
header ("Location:${_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?$strange_get");
exit();
}
// see what we got
print_r($_GET);
?>
Result:
Array
(
[p] => Array
(
[1] => admin_data
)
[type_id] => 5
[a] => Array
(
[1] => zz
)
[b] => Array
(
[1] => Array
(
[2] => one
[3] => two
)
)
)
customer was ignored because no name was given
p[1] was set twice, so only the last value remained
a[1]->x=zz was interpreted as a[1]=zz
b[1][2] and b[1][] worked as expected
Arrays are the only things you can expect to work out of the box.
For instance, passing "?index=10&value[index]=123" will not interpret index magically
