Passing numbers as parameters in URL in request: PHP

Question

Can I pass numbers as parameters in URL? I am trying to get the slug name as below,

$slug = $post->post_name;
$pagePath = site_url() . '/listing-details/?p=' . $slug;

and trying to get the slug as below,

$the_slug = $_GET['p'];

Now the issue here, in some cases I am getting the $slug value as something like

650-jefferson-ave

Thus finally my URL which I am getting, becomes:

http://localhost/project/listing-details/?p=650-jefferson-ave

Thus in that case my $the_$slug is returning null and this url is redirecting the default http://localhost/project/listing-details/ page without any parameters.

How can I achieve this? Please anyone help.

It looks like it's got the article/page ID prepended to it. You need to split it off, using explode list($id, $slug) = explode('-', $_GET['p'], 2); — Geoffrey

@Geoffrey Actually my post name contains names starting with digits. — manini

$parts = parse_url($url);
parse_str($parts['query'], $query);
echo $query['email'];

and make sure you have a parameter p after your url

like

/post/?p=something

I am already doing this. The issue here is /post/?p=$slug is having numbers thus it is returning nothing.
